Kelvingrove Park is one of the most popular parks in the city of Glasgow. It is located in the west end of the city and sits on both banks of the River Kelvin. Covering 34 ha (85 acres), it was created as the West End Park in 1852 by Sir Joseph Paxton. It has been the site of three exhibitions; the 1888 International Exhibition, the 1901 International Exhibition and the 1911 Scottish Exhibition. Kelvingrove contains a skatepark, bowling greens and many statues and monuments. The largest monument is the Stewart Memorial Fountain, built to commemorate Lord Provost Robert Stewart (1851-1854) and his achievement of providing the city with fresh water from Loch Katrine. There are statues to William Thomson, 1st Baron Kelvin, Joseph Lister and Lord Roberts. The Belle & Sebastian song ''Like Dylan in the Movies'' was written after a bout of paranoia suffered by the lead singer of the band, Stuart Murdoch (musician), when walking through the park.
