St Katherine’s Well (Glenluce Abbey)

Sacred Well

markj99 Nov 28, 2022

I found St Katherine’s Well on my visit today (28.11.22). It was obscured by thick vegetation. The well is located on the E edge of the New Luce road c. 55 yards SSE of Glenluce Abbey car park at NX 18589 58751. It measures c. 2 yards long, 1 yard wide and 1 foot deep with an exposed stone dome. The well extends c. 2.5 feet under the dome. Canmore ID 61153 (go to Links) has further details of St Katherine’s Well (Glenluce Abbey).
