Notes
A spring on the north side of the burn that flows east, past St John's Chapel and Michael Fair, in the village of Drumlithie (Glenbervie). NMRS reports a confusion over the dedication of the well, citing Scott (1915-61) who records it as 'well of St Carran' and McPherson (1932) who calls it St Conon's Well, and says it was visited on the first Sunday of May.
