Tobar nam Buaidh (the well of virtue) a holy well, the water from which was an alleged cure for deafness and nervous diseases. There was once a so-called altar nearby, where prayer was made. This has now disappeared but the well is protected by an erection of large stones and was used up to the evacuation (in 1930) (J Mathieson 1928).
Covered by a stone structure in 1697 (M Martin 1934).
