NH6453 : The Clootie Well
near to Munlochy, Highland, Great Britain
The Clootie Well
The well is a natural spring in a small hillock.
A nearby Forestry Commission sign provides information, starting with "Hope hangs in the trees here. Every one of the cloots around this well is a token, left by someone who wants a wish to come true". The sign goes on to explain that wells such as this were once common throughout Britain, and gives instructions as to the correct procedure for leaving a token and making a wish.
