Located in The Shambles, the Adam Robertson Memorial Fountain stands as an elaborate functional drinking fountain, designed in the Italian Renaissance fashion. This fountain serves as a tribute to Adam Robertson, a notable figure in Alnwick, recognized for his contributions to both local politics and as the founder of a local decorating company.

Hailing from Alnwick himself, Adam Robertson's influence extended through his active involvement in community affairs. The fountain's construction was set in motion when Robertson's wife, Nancy, laid the foundation stone on February 3rd, 1891. Earl Percy had the honor of officially unveiling the fountain on June 8th, 1891.
