St. Thomas’ Roman Catholic Chapel in Muirkirk was originally built in the 19th century and served as a place of worship before being converted into a school in the early 20th century. While no specific holy well or ritual site is directly associated with the chapel in recorded sources, the dedication to St. Thomas may reflect a local tradition of veneration for the Apostle, who was historically linked to healing and protection in various parts of Scotland.
