| ROTTENROW WELL | Rottenrow Well Rottenrow Well Rottenrow Well Rottenrow Well Rottenrow Well Rottenrow Well |
William Logan Thomas Henderson Daniel Morris Thomas Grieg T Scott Mr Telfer |
A deep draw well on the farm of Monkton. The name is said to be taken from a village which formerly stood here, named Rottenrow, no vestige of which now remains. This is the celebrated "Routing Well", which is thus noted in the Statistical Account. "The case is, that this well, being dug many fathoms deep through a rock, in order to get below the strata of coal that abound in the field, it communicates through the coal seams that are wrought, with other shafts; which occassions a rumbling noise, that does not precede, but accompanies a high wind." |
