Legend and truth intermingle in the history of this site. Legend suggests this was the site of the chapel where Robert the Bruce took the sacrament before Bannockburn and was the holy well known as 'Christ's Well'. However, in truth, there is no evidence of an ancient building on this site, and the well here may be no more than a large farm pond. The pond is now surrounded by trees, a farm steading and a small modern housing development. Wider view: Image
