What is recorded here

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Spittal as Chapel (period Unknown)(possible). 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.
Spittal is traditionally associated with St. Fillan, a 7th-century Irish monk and healer, and is linked to a holy well known for its curative properties, particularly for skin ailments and lameness. The site may have been the location of an early Christian chapel or hermitage, reflecting the widespread Celtic tradition of saints establishing places of worship and healing in remote Scottish landscapes.

The historic-place record does not grant public access. Check current conditions and ownership before entering land or a building.
