Humbie Holm is associated with Saint Humbert, a 7th-century Irish saint believed to have founded a monastic site on the holm (island) near the River Tyne in East Lothian. The site was traditionally linked to healing rituals and the use of holy water, with local folklore suggesting that coins left at the well were offerings for protection or as a sign of gratitude for cures.
