Bloch Well (Langholm) submitted by Anne T on 31st Aug 2021. Not much left of the structure of Bloch Well, but it gives a plentiful supply of water, which seems to piped under the road, running directly south along the eastern side of a small plantation.

Log Text: Bloch Well (Langholm): Described as a "dubious holy well" by J.R. Walker in 1883, now completely ruined. Not been able to find out anything much about this well, apart from its' brief Canmore entry, and a mention that the well is sulphurous, although there was no smell of sulphur at the time of our visit.
