Looking Into Bruce's Well
Image: © Mary and Angus Hogg Taken: 24 May 2014
King Robert the Bruce suffered from a skin complaint, often described as leprosy, which improved after washing with the waters of this ancient well. Prestwick Burgh Council took on responsibility for Bruce’s Well in 1911, restoring it in 1912 and again in 1963. The well mouth lies at the bottom of a few steps with a small drinking bowl set into the rear wall. The whole site is protected by iron railings and a locked gate.
