Holy Well or Sacred Spring in Angus
The Queen's Well is to be found in Glen Mark, which lies at the head of Glen Esk and to the north of Loch Lee. After staying at the nearby Invermark Lodge in September 1861, Queen Victoria and Prince Albert stopped at the spring, then known as White Well, to drink of it's refreshing waters before travelling further on up Glen Mark and on to their home at Balmoral Castle.
