What is recorded here

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Balquhidder as Stone Setting (neolithic) - (bronze Age). 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.
Balquhidder is associated with Saint Fillan, a 7th-century Irish monk and healer, and its holy well was traditionally visited for its supposed curative properties, particularly for skin ailments and eye complaints. The site combines early Christian tradition with prehistoric remains, reflecting a long history of spiritual and ritual significance in the area.

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