    Hiking

    A 'Clootie' well. This was the place of Pagan tradition where a piece of cloth was left to make a wish. A clootie is the word for 'rag', and it was also believed that the well had healing powers.

    Running

    Nice place to see but getting a bit tatty looking with all the old ribbon & bits people are tying up in trees. Ruin is still good to look at through.

    Hiking

    In St Mary's Well, near Culloden Battlefield, the injured soldiers bathed their wounds. You can spend some time here and leave a piece of fabric today to fulfill a wish.
