What is recorded here
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Lady Well, Linton as Holy Well (medieval). The official map says its point is accurate as follows: NGR given to the nearest 10m. The record does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
Linked to a local tradition of healing, the Lady Well is associated with the veneration of a saintly or maternal figure, possibly connected to the Virgin Mary, a common feature of Scottish holy wells. Historical practices at the site may have included the collection of water for sick or ailing individuals, reflecting broader medieval Christian and folk healing customs.
