Holy Well, Tobar na h-Annait, Kilbride.
Barely 50 yards south of Clach na h-Annait is the well Tobar na h-Annait. The spring is enclosed in a comparatively modern building and is covered with a circular stone cover with a round hole in the centre. "It was built in and covered with a mill-stone by Dr Mackinnon's grandfather" (PSAS, XLVI., 204).
It is said that Clach na h-Annait was once removed and used as a lintel stone in a house, but the experiences of the inmates were such that they were glad to restore it to its original position. This story sounds apocryphal, as the stone has a slight curve on it, and it would not have been very suitable for this purpose.
