The lower part of a chapel built by James III, housing the shrine of St Triduana, a Pictish saint. The hexagonal vaulted chamber is unique. Access can be arranged Monday to Friday from 9.00am to 5.00pm by contacting St Margaret’s Parish Church, Restalrig.
Water from the well-house was used to treat diseases of the eye, following St. Triduana's ability to heal the blind. The lower floor was later used as a burial vault for the Logans, who possessed the Barony of Restalrig. The well-house, which had become entirely buried, was exposed and subjected to a major restoration in 1906.
