Fountain, The Square, 1882. Erected 'in memory of James Robertson, Bank Agent, Huntly, b.20 January 1789, d.4 February 1877, by his widow', the fountain consists of a square bullfaced granite plinth which carries on each side a

polished granite basin and which supports four polished granite colonnettes enclosing keystone arches. Moulded crown above all: trying much too hard.
