St. Margaret’s Well

This well was originally sited at NT28057424- which is now next to the East Coast Mainline! The original site was just a bit to the east in Restalrig and the ancient vault was partly built over by a railway workshop (the shed being called ‘St. Margaret’s Works). The well house was moved in 1860 to its present position in Holyrood Park and the water which now flows from here was originally called St. David’s Well.
