A person may have drawn water there, carried it into the hall, or watched the surface move under moonlight.

The Bishop's Palace at Dunblane was built in the 13th century by the Bishops of St Andrews, who held significant religious and administrative authority in medieval Scotland. The site is historically important as it was associated with the royal and ecclesiastical history of the region, and the nearby Dunblane Cathedral was the location of a significant event in Scottish history, the assassination of King Alexander II in 1249.
