Wallace's Well, Medieval water well in Robroyston, Glasgow, Scotland
Wallace's Well stands on Langmuirhead Road with a pink granite lintel bearing its name and features a cast-iron hand-operated water pump at its base.
The well marks the location where Scottish resistance leader William Wallace took his final drink before English forces captured him on August 3, 1305.
A pink granite cross erected in 1900 near the well contains materials from the original building where Wallace spent his last moments of freedom.
Visitors need GPS coordinates to locate the well, which sits behind a wall near several roundabouts in a residential area of north Glasgow.
The Society of William Wallace maintains regular discussions with Glasgow City Council regarding preservation methods for this medieval water source.
