Conservation architect Scott Wallace of EKJN Architects – who has led the design team in obtaining council permissions and preparing technical specifications for the project – added: “We’re delighted to assist with bringing a new lease of life to the fantastic Murray Fountain.
“Over the monument’s 130-year history it has stood proudly in the centre of Crieff.
“This project presents a wonderful opportunity to repair damage and weatherstaining, while also reinstating lighting and improving the stone pointing to benefit the structure for years to come”.
Councillor Eric Drysdale is convener of the council’s environment and infrastructure committee.
The SNP elected member declared: “It’s fantastic news that the Murray Fountain will stand proud for many decades to come as a result of this partnership project.
“I know it holds a special place in the affections of local people. I would like to pay tribute to the dedication of the Crieff community who have worked so hard to make this a reality, and I look forward to work getting started.”
Strathearn ward Conservative councillor Noah Khogali added: “I am absolutely delighted that the funding and permissions for work to begin on the Murray Fountain is now in place, largely due to the work of David Mccann of CCT, among others.
“As everyone knows, it has been a very long road to get here, but it will be absolutely fantastic to see the fountain restored at the absolute heart of Crieff.”
PKC has said there will be some restrictions around the fountain and the wider James Square area for the threemonth duration of the improvement project.
