The remains of St Martin’s Well lie in a field on the Black Isle.
The farmer who owns the land and lives nearby at East Culbo Farm was very happy for us to visit the well .… though rather bemused why anyone would want to in the face of a howling gale. We found a spring still producing clear water which ran from under a heap of stones and formed a small pool before draining away into a nearby ditch.
