Macfarlane Lamp Standards Central Library, Aberdeen

These lamp standards were cast in 1889, from patterns identical to the lamps at Glasgow's Mitchell Theatre (formerly St Andrew's Halls) and the column of the now lost Little Folks Fountain, in Glasgow's Seamore Street. Macfarlane Ventilator Shafts (?) Aberdeen

There are two of these objects and they are in the form of lamp-posts with an elegant moulded pedestal supporting a plain, slender column with a crown finial. Their pedestals are decorated with an intertwined geometric pattern on its sides and a cluster of Acanthus leaves and olive branches around the base of the column. The decorative details confirm their style as Classical Greek. The date and exact purpose of these objects is not known. It is probable, however, that they were erected as ventilator shafts for an adjacent workshop or store. Macfarlane Bandstand Magdalene Park, Dundee

A typical Macfarlane bandstand dating from 1889. Identical bandstands were erected all over the United Kingdom and the British Empire, and this is a rare survivor of the requisitioning of cast iron structures "for the war effort" in the 1940s. The pattern of the scroll- work apron between the columns was used for railings and ballustrades on many buildings in Scotland. A miniature copy of the bandstand is in another Dundee Park, opposite 1-3 Park Road. Macfarlane Grave Enclosure Eastern Cemetery, Dundee
