MenuScotlandwell, Kinross-shire
Scotlandwell is a village in Kinross-shire. Named Fons Scotiae by the Romans who founded it, the curative waters that bubble up through the sandy ground were used by Red Friars who maintained a hospital in the village between 1250 and 1587. Thousands of pilgrims came to Scotlandwell to take the water, the most famous perhaps being King Robert the Bruce who is alleged to have found a cure for leprosy here. The Well and Wash House were built between 1857 and 1860 by Thomas Bruce of Arnot. The village is within the council area of Perth and Kinross.
