Local Fact of the Day: the healing well beneath a Victorian canopy 💧

Scotlandwell takes its name from Fons Scotiae—“the Well of Scotland”. Medieval pilgrims travelling towards St Andrews stopped at the spring, while the Red Friars maintained a hospital nearby. The elegant wellhouse is much younger. Local landowner Thomas Bruce of Arnot commissioned a village improvement scheme, and architect David Bryce designed the ornamental well completed in 1858. The spring is ancient; its familiar face is Victorian. Have you visited?
