Re: Fairy Well (Logie) by Anonymous on Sunday, 11 June 2023

There is no ''Fairy Well'' except in the children's storybook ''Ochil Fairy Tales'' written by Logie Church minister R M Fergusson. The well pictured is the Highlandman's Well refurbished simply to prevent it being lost and to be added to be listed/noted. Fergusson was incorrect in assuming it was the Holy Well. The First Statistical Account by Rev Wright correctly identifies the Holy Well which as an area of springs 1km to the east of Highlandman's Well and is mentioned in documents by the Bishop of Dunblane going back to the 1200's. See Forth Naturalist & Historian vol 41.
