Near Udal Tor: A Glenfield & Kennedy water pump / drinking fountain erected near to the granite memorial (near the road junction) to mark the Diamond Jubilee of Queen Victoria from 1897.

Glenfield & Kennedy were a large firm from Kilmarnock in Ayrshire, Scotland. They were formed out of two merged companies in 1899.

It is recorded that the Queen Victoria memorial was finished in 1900, which ties in with the date of the Glenfield and Kennedy formation year of 1899. One assumes the drinking fountain was erected in the same year of 1900.
