Well O'Spa, Medieval mineral well in Aberdeen, Scotland
The Well O'Spa features stone walls and structural elements that reflect the traditional architectural style of northeastern Scotland.
The mineral well dates back to the 15th century and received its first documented mention in 1580 through a medical monograph by Professor Gilbert Skene.
The well's Latin inscription conveys a message about health flowing to the country and people, representing the communal values of Aberdeen residents.
Located near Aberdeen City Library and His Majesty's Theatre, the well stands at coordinates 57.1487°N, 2.1063°W on Spa Street.
The water contains dissolved ferrous carbonate from red sandstone bedrock, giving it a distinctive red sediment appearance.
