Old travel Blog photograph of the Dewar Memorial Fountain in Abercorn Park, Portobello, Edinburgh, Scotland. Fountain erected by loyal supporters of a doctor who was the subject of a controversial medical case involving the death in childbirth of Jane Anderson. It bears the inscription: " This fountain has been erected in remembrance of Dr Hugh Dewar, Portobello, by his grateful patients and numerous friends, who deplore the loss in the prime of manhood of a kind friend and skilful and beloved physician. His quiet charity was known to the needy. 1866 to 1914. "
