Fountain, built in 1897. It is a small, free-standing polished granite gothic drinking fountain with a baptismal font style circular bowl on an octagonal pier with scroll supports at the splayed faces. Above is a corniced, open square columned canopy, each face with round-arch and decoratively-tooled spandrels supported by a central column and four corner colonettes with stiff-leaf capitals. This is then surmounted by an ornamental, pyramidal spirelet rising from decoratively-tooled gablets. The east gablet is inscribed '1897 Presented to the Town of Stonehaven by George Barrie, Law Agent and Notary Public, Edinburgh'. There is a tooled band course and square-plan, stiff-leaf capital, capped by a metal colonette that was probably for a gas lamp, now missing. There is an associated adjacent horse trough, probably added later. It is plain, rectangular granite horse trough on a stand with a rectangular bowl beneath, and has two pink granite supports and two freestanding bollards.
