Lady Well, Holy well and monument near Glasgow Necropolis, Scotland
The Lady Well stands at the end of Ladywell Street against the western wall of Glasgow Necropolis next to Tennent's Brewery.
Dating from before Glasgow's foundation, this medieval spring served Romans during the construction of the Antonine Wall and remained active until the early 20th century.
The well carries dedication to the Virgin Mary, following a tradition where visitors would drop coins into its waters as offerings.
Visitors can locate the well at the convergence of three roads: Wishart Street, Drygate, and Ladywell Street, marked by directional signs.
The well underwent multiple reconstructions, including efforts by the Merchants House in 1836 and 1874, with the final renovation by Tennent's Brewery in 1983.
