St Catherine's Well, Liberton, Edinburgh

Also known as the Oily Well or the Balm Well, the lintel above the well has the date 1536, but the stonework is obviously newer and the antiquity of the well is unknown. The well was associated with St Catherine, and a chapel dedicated to her was previously on the site. The well is in the grounds of Balmwell House, built in 1806, and currently a Toby Carvery.
