The official map says its point is accurate as follows: NGR given to the nearest 1m. The record does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
The holy well at Mingulay is associated with Saint Moluag, a 6th-century Irish monk and missionary linked to the Pictish region of western Scotland. Traditionally, the site was visited for healing and spiritual renewal, with local folklore suggesting the water had curative properties, particularly for ailments of the eyes and skin.
