Holy Well or Sacred Spring in North Lanarkshire

This healing well is described on The Northern Antiquarian (TNA) web page for Arns Well, Glasgow, Lanarkshire. It's position on the edge of Glasgow Green, on the northern edge of the River Clyde, was marked the 1865 OS map of Glasgow. The TNA page tells us "Originally the waters emerged from marshy ground and used to be known as 'the Peat Bog', but by 1777 a small well house was built to contain the waters and make it a feature of the wider architectural landscape of the Glasgow Green park area."

The History of Glasgow website also makes reference to Arns Well, saying it is "still existence, though now closed."
