Old Stirling

St. Ninian’s Well

The Well takes the form of a spring which rises in a low vaulted building on the cast side of the St. Ninians Road, behind Melville Terrace. Externally the building has no outstanding architectural features, but the structure is of considerable age and the antiquity of the Well is beyond all question. From the well-house the water runs in a channel eastwards to join the lade serving the Town’s Mills. The adjoining site, or “Well Green,” was for long used as the public washing-green of Stirling.
