Visited the Drinking Fountain today whilst having a drive in the area. It is situated in Tay Street, less than five minutes walk east (in the direction of the Tay Road Bridge) from the High Street. It commands a superb location with stunning views across the River Tay to Dundee, and is in the 'Braes' area of Newport-On-Tay which is well worth a walk along too if you are in the area. There is seating situated directly behind the fountain, where one can sit and admire the river views. The fountain was donated to the town of Newport-On-Tay in 1882 by Mrs Blyth Martin, a member of a prominent Dundee jute family, with the intention of providing clean drinking water to the citizens. The fountain was repaired/refurbished around 2012/2013, but today there is no water in the fountain. The canopied drinking fountain was manufactured at the Saracen Foundry in Glasgow, by Walter Macfarlane. The canopy is supported by eight columns. All in all, very ornate, and definitely worth a look if you are in the area. For those with a keener interest, more information is available about the fountain on the internet.

Amazing road bridge which provides incredible views of Fife and the city of Dundee, especially of the newly opened V&A building. An amazing work of art which has an incredible history linking 2 great areas of Scotland.
