Blackness (click on photograph to bring up bigger/better version).

	There are two pumps in Blackness, Falkirk; this impressive one is in the village. Photo supplied by John Gow - thanks, John.
	Markings: "The gift of Alexander McLeod, Esq., [more words, obscured by paint], to the inhabitants of Blackness, his native village, 1875". Manufacturer: With the exception of the cap, the pump top is very similar to an S.Owens No. 14 Ornamental pump. However, the cap is identical to that of a Glenfield & Kennedy water pillar just a few yards away, and the less than perfect fit suggests that it's later replacement.
