Rangers and Caithness Countryside Volunteers Mark The Brethren Well
.:: Brethren Well Restoration - July 2004 ::.
Date: July 2004
Location: Lybster, Caithness, Scotland
Photographer: Marshall Bowman
It is 50 years ago this year since the well was last used for a domestic supply. It had become overgrown and almost lost permanently until local historian/author Donald A Young decided action was needed to save it for future generations. With the asssistance of volunteers from the Ranger Service who initially dug it out and then local contractors J Gunn & Sons who supplied materials the newly restored well is now beginning to take shape and looks to be secure for a very long future. It is reputed to have been used by monks who lived in the area as far back as the 6th century hence the name Brethren Well
