(NS 5897 4813) Munzie Well (NAT)

OS 6" map (1961)

Munzie Well: This has long been known as a good mineral well. The water is still very strongly tainted.

Name Book 1856; New Statistical Account (NSA) 1845 (W Patrick)

Thomson, mentioning "St Mungo's Well" at Mungo Hill (Munzie Hill) about 3 miles south Eaglesham, is doubtless referring to this well.

J H Thomson 1903
