Re: St Ronan's Well by Anonymous on Wednesday, 16 April 2008
Hi

I am a little confused. I live in Innerleithen, Scottish Borders six miles from Peebles. Innerleithen is home to St Ronan's Wells, a former victorian health spa with healing waters (reputedly). It was featured on the BBC's Beechgrove Garden in 2007 and sir Walter Scott wrote about it in one of his novels.

The OS ref: NT 328373

Are you saying that there is another St Ronan's Well which is attributed to our local patron saint St Ronan?

The location flagged is most definitely not in Ayrshire! It's in Dunbartonshire. Maybe you confuse Kilmaronock with Kilmarnock.
