The Lockit Well
In the wall of Erskine Brae. The plaque reads:
The Lockit Well
This historical water supply for Culross
was believed to have been used
by followers of St. Serf.
Fed by a stream from higher ground and filling a
cistern behind the wall, the water flow was
controlled by a lever that could be locked,
hence the name ‘Lockit Well’.
The stream descends the hill by Snuff
Cottage, crossing Low Causeway at
the Strynd Vennel and then
flows into the Forth.
