Hermitage Park: the Wishing Well
This structure, the so-called Wishing Well (or Hermit's Well), is located in Image (see that picture for context), not far to the south of a walled garden (Image) that contains a war memorial (Image).
See Image for a closer look. There used to be a ladle hanging inside, but those using the well would have had to mind their heads: Image

Hermitage Park: the Wishing Well
Or the Hermit's Well.
See Image and Image for context. See Image for the upper part of the interior, which is not visible from this angle.
Information panels present in the park by 2021 call this the Hermit's Well. According to http://www.helensburgh-heritage.co.uk/index.php/heritage/places/1134-the-history-of-hermitage-park (at the Helensburgh Heritage site), the well and its grotto were formed in 1914. See that link for a detailed discussion, which includes comments on the origins of the name Hermitage Park (which displaced the earlier name Cramb Park).

Wishing Well: detail
See Image for the whole structure, and Image for the setting. The present photograph shows the upper part of the interior; the jagged stones were intended to give the well a grotto-like appearance. It seems also to have been known as the Hermit's Well.
