What is recorded here
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Ayr, Midton Road, Ayr St Columba Church as Church (early 20th Century) (1902). The official map says its point is accurate as follows: NGR given to the nearest 1m. The record does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
St Columba, the patron saint of the church, was a 6th-century Irish monk and missionary who played a key role in the Christianization of Scotland, particularly through his foundation of the monastery on Iona. The church and its associated sites often became focal points for local pilgrimage and healing traditions, though specific folklore linked to this particular well or site is not widely recorded.
