Mull of Galloway, Dumfries and Galloway, Scotland

Mull of Galloway Headland

Chapel Wells

The Mull has one of the last remaining sections of natural coastal habitat on the Galloway coast and as such supports a wide variety of plant and animal species. It is now a nature reserve managed by the RSPB.

 

According to Coxe, you will find three sea-water wells situated some 30 yards northwest of the ruins of St Medan's Chapel. "Sickly" children were immersed in the waters and a offering left in the chapel in the hope of a cure.
