Crail is associated with Saint Fillan, a 7th-century Irish monk and healer, and its holy well was traditionally visited for its curative properties, particularly for eye ailments and skin conditions. Pilgrimages to the site were common, and the discovery of medieval pilgrim badges suggests its significance as a place of spiritual and physical healing in the medieval period.
