(NN 8030 4907) 'Tobar Eonan', a well dedicated to St Adamnan, is in the garden of the manse at Dull.
G Bain 1893.
The well shown at NN 8030 4907 on OS 25" map, Perthshire, (1900), immediately outside the S wall of the manse garden is probably the one refered to by Bain. There is no local tradition about it, although it appears to be old, and the name is not known. According to Mr Cameron (D Cameron, Dull) ), an elderly inhabitant, an old well set into the foot of a brae at NN 8072 4927 and still containing a little water, is traditionally St Adamnan's Well.
Surveyed at 1:2500.
