014 | This was a fine spring of Water, but was drained off about 30 years ago. Nothing now remains to mark the spot, but the well is well remembered by the Old people about the place. "In a field called the piper's shed nearly a mile east of the old kirk a copious fountain bears the name of "St. Dristan", or St. Drostan, to whom in all likelihood the kirk had been dedicated, Like all consecrated Springs this is said to have wrought numerous and wonderful miracles", Land of the Lindsays |
