Holy Well or Sacred Spring in Perth and Kinross
St Adamnan was an Irishman who became Abbot of Iona in 679AD. He was St Columba’s biographer and is the Patron Saint of lovely Glen Lyon. His bell can be seen in the Innerwick Church in Glen Lyon. When the saint lay dying, he asked that his body be placed on a bier carried on bearing sticks held in rings of willow (known as dullan). He was to be carried down Glen Lyon until the dullan broke and there he was to be buried. The place where this happened became known as village of Dull.
