Well Stromness
Found the Loons well again yesterday beside the Oglaby road, it is nearer to the Loon's south corner than remembered (is on 1:25,000) and below eye level not above ! Then went past the Hellihole - the Brownstown well looks a little cleaner than last time. Didn't see Login's Well yesterday but found one I haven't noticed after 30 years. Leaving the police station going towards the Co-op stopped to admire a pair of conical capped gatepillars. Saw a structure at the back, wondered if it were wartime, then spotted something caged inside. A gorgeous white arch of stone blocks. A bridge or a tunnel, but no, looked on the first 25" and it's a covered well. Rather grand. Release and let the public view it like the others.
