The large red fountain in the center of Dumfries is simply called Dumfries Fountain. It stands at the intersection of High Street and English Street, right next to the Midsteeple. The current fountain was inaugurated in 1882 and commemorates the introduction of public water supply in Dumfries.
The fountain is considered one of the city's landmarks and has been elaborately restored in recent years.
