Balm Well
A natural oil seepage linked to the nearby Pentland Fault. Historical ties associate it with St. Catherine of Alexandria from which its alternative name, St. Catherine’s Well, is derived.
The well was considered to have healing powers up until the early 20th century while it was used to treat eczema.
The location will appear in the centre of the map.
