Holy Well or Sacred Spring in East Lothian
This site is recorded as a holy well in Walker's Holy Wells in Scotland, though he says nothing more than noting it is a "built well of oval shape". The well is now capped and there is not a lot to see. It is located in the north-east corner of a residential courtyard accessed via a wide passage close to the ruins of St. Andrew's Church.
