This old well has been moved several times. It's now in the wee garden at the back of the Central Library but earlier it was built into the wall of Woolmanhill Hospital in Spa Street. There even was a Spa Bar there. First records place the well in George Jameson's "Four Neukit Garden" - a location for plays where Shakespeare might once have performed.
