Kirsenin Well is associated with Saint Cursen or Curzen, a 7th-century Irish saint who founded a monastery in Kintore, Aberdeenshire, and is linked to several holy wells in northern Scotland. The well was traditionally visited for healing, particularly for ailments of the eyes and skin, and may have been a site of pilgrimage.
