Made at the Denny Iron Works in 1884 by Cruikshanks and Company, it's dedicated to John Aitkin, the first medical officer of health for the Burgh of Govan. This drinking fountain is not unique in having crocodiles in its canopy, and identical crocs can be found in at least two other Glasgow drinking fountains.
