A rectangular, dark grey, weathered cast iron plaque is embedded centrally within a rough-hewn stone wall in the City of Edinburgh, United Kingdom. The plaque features raised lettering and decorative elements, including a keyhole on the left side and scrolled brackets. The inscription on the plaque reads, from top to bottom: "W.B.C" (with a 'T' integrated into the 'C') "WEST-BOW WELL" (Below this, faint graffiti spells "MML") "ERECTED BY" "THE TOWN COUNCIL" "1674" (positioned between the keyhole and a decorative bracket, with a small red mark on the digit '7') "REPAIRED & ALTERED" "BY" "RICHARDSON BROTHERS" (text curved along a semi-circular arc) "MERCHANTS. WEST-BOW" "1861" The surrounding stone wall consists of various grey and yellowish-brown blocks, exhibiting signs of age and weathering. Patches of green moss or lichen are visible along the upper mortar lines and on some stone surfaces. Faintly carved into the stone directly above the plaque, the partial digits "1753" are discernible. No people are present in the scene. The object is a historical marker for the West-Bow Well.
