dailyrecord.co.ukDumfries town centre’s 140-year-old landmark – officially called The Sun Foundry Fountain – will be officially launched in its new full glory on Friday.
The public ceremony from noon to 2pm, organised by the council and The Stove Network, starts a series of events planned throughout the summer to mark the transformation from a non-working eyesore to a fully-functioning iconic combined cascade and spray fountain in the heart of the High Street.
On the day itself there will workshops hosted by For Enjoyment and The Stove Network, and the chance to pick up a souvenir of the historic event – a commemorative certificate.
There will also be music from Dumfries Town Band and the QOS Choir, a performance by Dumfries School of Dance and an exclusive Mostly Ghostly Tour exploring the impact of two major cholera epidemics in 1832 and 1848.
