Bute, St Blane's

Cross (early Medieval)

What is recorded here

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Bute, St Blane's as Cross (early Medieval). The official map says its point is accurate as follows: NGR given to the nearest 10m. The record does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
St Blane was an early Christian hermit and saint associated with the Pictish church, traditionally linked to the founding of monastic sites in western Scotland. The holy well or cross at Bute may be connected to his cult, which was venerated for healing and protection, though specific local traditions or cures associated with this site are not well documented.
