Description Jonas visited this last weekend during the Portsoy Boat Festival. He had never visited or even heard of a holy well, but he was impressed by the ambience here and says it felt sacred. This photo is of low quality, but we'll replace it with something better at a later date.

now, that's what I call well housing! Is the actual well situated in the floor within? Just trying to work out from whence the water flows.

We'll have to ask him. He said it was like a wishing well in a way. That's all I know. We don't get to talk to him. I just glean what I can from what he posts on Facebook for the most part.

You got it. The water flows into a small bowl-shaped impression in the floor, from what I could make out (it was quite dark). I was running low on memory in my camera, or I'd've taken a picture of the inside as well.
