Holy Well (Drumnadrochit)
Holy Well (Drumnadrochit) submitted by KiwiBetsy : The well still exists about 48 paces east of the monolith on the north side of the A82 and about a mile east of Drumnadrochit just opposite the layby above Temple Pier. The well is built into the hillside and still has running water. (Vote or comment on this photo)
Holy Well or Sacred Spring in Highlands.
The Chapel of St Ninian used to stand near this site and near the site of the chapel was a rag well. The area was much altered during the widening of the A82.

A nearby stone monolith marks what is said to be the site of finds made during this work.
