Scope and Content The area in the photo is called Littleburn, after the burn/drain that slopes across the middle of the photo. This is S of the A832 road going to Munlochy, just seen top R. As the A832 road, at the top of the photo, passes across the top of the plantation forest, there is a famous clootie well. This is described in the HER: "A well, still used as a Rag Well, is located on the steep northern slopes of the Hill o'Hirdie at NH 6406 5368. It is a natural spring, issuing from a circular hole in the ground c.10m diameter and 1.0m below present ground level, and running down to supply a trough on the S side of the main road. The well is dressed with rags by passing tourists. Title and Scope & Content contributed by North of Scotland Archaeological Society (2021).
