Lady's Well
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Lady's Well is beside the Tour rivulet in Kilmaurs, East Ayrshire
Next to the Kilmaurs-Glencairn church in Kilmaurs is a patch of woodland which was once an orchard. The Tour streamlet joins the Carmel nearby and before the confluence can be found an old well, arched over, known as the Lady's well, with never-failing, excellent and refeshingly cool water. A small wooden bridge used to run across to it from the church glebe side (McNaught 1912).
The hamlet of Pathfoot existed nearby, however no remains are visible today and the orchard is completely now overgrown.
The remains of a group of pre-reformation ecclesiatical buildings lie close by.
Today (2007) the well is sadly neglected although it is substantially intact.
