Highlandman's Well is recorded as Canmore ID 47123 which tells us in 1952: "The well itself has been filled up, but the stream of water issuing from it can still be seen. The Statistical Account records that it was called the "Holy Well" and was said to have been formerly much resorted to by the Roman Catholics. Noted as "Spring" on OS 6" map." The latest visit took place in 1974, when it was noted that there was "a spring issuing from an iron pipe."
The Northern Antiquarian (TNA) features a page on this holy well - see their entry for Fairy Well, Logie, Stirlingshire, which includes directions for finding the well together with photographs of the spring emerging from a wall, a brief archaeology & history and local folklore.
