What is recorded here

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Dunkeld, the Hermitage, Ossian's Hall as Gazebo (18th 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 Saint Fillan, an 8th-century Irish monk and healer, the site is associated with traditions of water worship and miraculous cures, particularly for skin ailments and general well-being. Local folklore connects the nearby Hermitage with holy hermits and the well with healing properties, though Ossian's Hall itself is a later 18th-century structure.

The historic-place record does not grant public access. Check current conditions and ownership before entering land or a building.
