Kate's Well, Natural water well at Kirk O'Shotts Parish Church, North Lanarkshire, Scotland.
The spring water flows through a stone faucet at the base of Kirk O'Shotts Parish Church, providing fresh water to local residents and visitors.
The well dates back to the 15th century when it was connected to St Catherine's Chapel, a Catholic place of worship named after Catherine of Sienna.
Local stories tell of Willielmo De Muirhead defeating the giant Bertram de Shotts near the well, earning lands from the King as a reward.
Visitors can access the well throughout the day by following the B7066 road from Salsburgh Community Centre, with parking available nearby.
The water source originates from surrounding hills and maintains a constant flow through the stone structure, offering drinking water at no cost.
