Holy Well!

Been a good day. Various deadlines kept and articles out.
I am working on roadside fountains right now. Not as boring as it first appears. The new shire has an abundance of such things. The Cairnie area once had many holy wells as a recognition of the importance of water to man and beast. Many are of course sited above natural springs but most are also where man and beast would require a drink after toiling up some one in five slope or down some twisted coastal track.
Dated 1897 and with a Gothic style fountain with lion mask spout over a stone trough this roadside well is inscribed centre front 'Victoria diamond jubilee fountain 1897'.
Nearby to the same loop of an old Wade military road are two other healing wells described as "HACKLEBURNIE WELL at NJ 472 448. The spring still flows from a pipe into the garden of a modern bungalow, though its water is also used by a hotel on the hillock above.) and BOGFORGUE WELL at NJ 467 449 (a healing well; on the bank of the Burn of Cairnie, beneath an electricity power line; not easy to get at."
Fortunately they all have stories to reveal. I have taken to carrying a set of electric hedgecutters in my boot since most are overgrown and neglected making the taking of images slightly uncertain.
I'm tempted to pen that old hoary line "well that's deep" but I won't of course. That would be a nefariously cheap joke.
