Tobar Ma Luaig

Holy Well (medieval)

What is recorded here

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Tobar Ma Luaig as Holy Well (medieval). 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.
Tobar Ma Luaig is a medieval holy well associated with Saint Moluag, a 6th-century Irish monk and missionary linked to the founding of early monastic sites in Scotland. The well may have been a site of pilgrimage and healing, reflecting the broader Celtic Christian tradition of venerating saints and sacred waters for physical and spiritual cure.
