When people think of fountains in Glasgow the first to come to mind, logically, is the elaborate Doulton Fountain that is located outside the People's Palace - the largest ever to be constructed in ceramic.
Yet up at the corner of Woodside Crescent and Sauchiehall Street in Charing Cross stands a fountain that arguably deserves to be recognised one of the city's true iconic landmarks - the Cameron Memorial Fountain.
That's because while the fountain has long stopped providing drinking water, Glasgow's very own 'Leaning Tower Of Pisa' stands at such a weird angle that it itself appears to sit with a 'drunken' tilt.

One that is said to lean even more if you catch sight of it after you've had a few sherries.
A sight apt not only for its location a stone's throw from Glasgow's premier pub and nightclub boulevard Sauchiehall Street but comical because it was built in memory of one of the city's foremost Temperance Movement campaigners, Sir Charles Cameron.

Built in 1896 by public subscription, the fountain honoured the former newspaper editor, publisher, in recognition to his 'many services to this city and to Scotland' during his 21 years as an MP between 1874 and 1895.
Described as a "two-stage structure in an exuberant Baroque style", the part terracotta Victorian fountain and its clocktower was designed by architect Robert Bryden, and features bronze portrait medallions of Cameron as part of its hexagonal dome.
A member of the Royal Commission on the Liquor Licensing Laws and an avid supporter of teetotal causes, he was responsible for the introduction of the Inebriates Acts- which saw “habitual drunkards” blacklisted and those who continued to serve them alcohol fined.
And while the urban myth supports that its 10.5 inch lean was caused due to the construction of the M8 motorway through Charing Cross - which took with it the magnificent Grand Hotel - its lean was first noticed nearly 100 years ago.
In 1926, a report in the West End News & Partick Advertiser stated the tilt, which was a full 8.72 inches off kilter, had been reported to the Master of Works at Glasgow Corporation, as the fountain was “leaning over and could fall down".
This means the monument was suffering from subsidence issues with a generation of its erection, which points to an inadequate foundation.
Further checks down the decades have shown that the fountain's lean has continued to worsen, with the last-known inspection in the mid-1990s revealing the tilt had increased by three inches. Perhaps it's time someone headed up with a spirit level to check again?
And yet, having been skew-whiff for the best of a century, and with all the road traffic choking up the nearby streets, it still stands and still leans.
And speaking of food, the fountain even gave its name to Glasgow's first Thai restaurant, the Thai Fountain, a former city favourite which opened nearby back in 1993.
