Please find below the revised response. I’m researching water fountains. I’d like the street address - or if not possible, as precise a location as is possible - for all fountains (whether those are drinking fountains, ornamental or otherwise, and whether they are working or non-working) owned, managed, maintained or operated by the local authority. The following table includes references to former drinking fountains/wells which, because of the current health and safety regulations, necessitated their removal from use on the grounds that costs would be too excessive to comply with those regulations. Others, which are non-working have been kept on display at various sites as ‘relics’ of the past.

The route descriptions are not meant as route guides for people to use to navigate them. Where a suggestion is given on the suitability of routes for different user types and abilities (e.g. walkers, cyclists, horse riders, watersports, wheelchairs), this is for the purposes of giving an indication of the extent to which the Plan caters for the range of users that it is required to cater for.

    PEO PLE & P LACES ABER DEEN A guide to Aberdeen’s commemorative plaques Aberdeen’s Heritage Trail Leaflets Granite Trail INTRODUCTION March Stones Trail Maritime Trail North Sea Trail Plaques exist in a variety of different guises and in many different locations in and around Aberdeen City. They commemorate people and Old Aberdeen Trail places that have shaped Aberdeen; people who have made outstanding Sculpture Trail achievements in their field; and streets, buildings or events of particular historical prominence. From the nineteenth century plaques have been erected in Aberdeen often through the auspices of individuals or societies. These plaques are described as ‘non-standard’. In the 1970’s, the City Council introduced a degree of regularity, standardising most plaques erected to commemorate people as a distinctive round plaque design, whilst court plaques commemorating streets of historical importance are rectangular with a domed top edge. This leaflet draws attention to a number of plaques in the city centre and Old Aberdeen. A list appended at the end of this leaflet provides basic information on other plaques in alphabetic order. The plaque numbers on the City Centre map indicate a suggested walking trail. Most surfaces along this route are generally level. Following the suggested route will require crossing busy roads and it is the responsibility of members of the public to ensure their personal safety. We recommend the use of pedestrian crossing points where available. Most plaques are visible from public areas, but please be aware that some are located on private property. Aberdeen City Council is always pleased to accept sponsored nominations for new plaques.
