St Conwall’s Well, near Ruthven Castle or Huntingtower outside Perth, belonged to a saint whose day was kept on 18 May. In the days of superstition the well was much resorted to, and its water was said to be enough to supply Perth if it were piped down. Brand quotes the notes to Adamson’s Muses Threnodie.
