What is recorded here

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Bute, Rothesay, Ascog, St Margaret's as Cottage (19th Century), Nunnery (19th Century) - (20th Century). 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.
Linked to St Margaret, the site is traditionally associated with healing and pilgrimage, reflecting the widespread veneration of St Margaret across Scotland for her patronage of childbirth and protection. The nunnery context suggests a possible medieval religious foundation, later reduced to a cottage, with holy well practices possibly persisting into the 19th century.
