GV II
Bandstand. Late C19. Cast-iron structure on brick, stone and concrete base, timber screens, lead roof. Octagonal structure supported on 8 slender cast-iron columns to small capitals; scrolled decorative brackets carry octagonal canopy with flat painted board ceiling in 8 segments under a low truncated pyramidal canopy to cast-iron octagonal dome with pinnacle. The columns, embossed with the legend of the Kirkintilloch Iron Foundry, are set into a raised concrete plinth about 6.5m in diameter. 3 granite steps on the south-west side rise through the deep bull-nosed coping to the platform in asphalt. The columns are joined by continuous cast-iron balustrade, open to steps where gate posts have ball finials (gates are missing). 2 sets of 3 part-glazed full-height timber sliding panels run in a continuous iron track and can be positioned at any point around the bandstand to provide wind screening or a sound reflecting surface. A very characteristic and elegant version of a Victorian bandstand.
