Inveraray Castle Estate, Physick Well

Well House (18th Century)

What is recorded here

Inveraray Castle Estate, Physick Well is an 18th Century well house in Argyll and Bute, Scotland. It stands on the castle estate, not as a distant monument but as a working source of water for the people who lived there. The stones suggest hands that dipped cups, rinsed wounds or filled bottles before journeys. That simple act repeated across decades turns a small well into a measure of local life.
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Inveraray Castle Estate, Physick Well as Well House (18th Century). The official map says its point is accurate as follows: NGR given to the nearest 100m. The record does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
Built in the 18th century as part of the Inveraray Castle Estate, the Physick Well is associated with the Campbell family, who held the estate. It is remembered as an example of the therapeutic and architectural features often included in Scottish estate landscapes during the period.
