Gillipaw's Journal

Off to Wesley's Wedding

Instructions : Guests are to meet at the Doulton Fountain, Glasgow Green. From there, a coach transfer to a Scottish Castle, with a keep, a candle-lit chapel and a lake!  All very exciting.

Thankfully our taxi services delivered them to the pick up point just in time. They will enjoy another meet up with university friends. 

The Doulton Fountain is the largest terracotta fountain in the world.  Gifted to the city by Sir Henry Doulton, to celebrate Queen Victoria's Golden Jubilee of 1887, it was unveiled at the Empire Exhibition, Kelvingrove Park, in 1888.  It was then moved to Glasgow Green in 1890. 

The Fountain was relocated outside the People's Palace, and after a £4 million restoration, switched on again in 2005.
