What is recorded here

St Ann's Well is associated with the veneration of Saint Anne, the mother of the Virgin Mary, a popular figure in Christian tradition, particularly in Scotland. Holy wells dedicated to her were often visited for healing, especially for women's health issues, and were commonly used in pre-Reformation and folk religious practices.
