The spring at the edge of Slains Kirkyard is known as St. Ternan's Well. There was once an iron cup chained to the wall which the parishioners used to take a suppie of water on their way to the kirk on a Sunday morning. As far as can be made out this disappeared shortly before the Second World War.
