Bandstand, manufactured 1891 by George Smith and Co of the Sun Foundry, Glasgow and probably installed in 1891 or 1892. Sandstone plinth, cast-iron columns, metal-clad wooden roof. Ten-sided plan. Single-storey, open-sided; cast-iron columns at the angles with fluted bases, twisted shafts and crocket capitals (in 1983 linked by a circular wooden beam attached to the inner faces, probably dating from 1927 and replacing earlier glazed timber shuttering); large pierced spandrel brackets springing from the capitals both laterally and forwards to carry the oversailing eaves of a strongly-swept roof which has a simple corona round a dome with renewed finial. The design’s pierced balustrades are absent.

INTERIOR has flat boarded ceiling.
