An atypical place where the sometimes dirty hanging raises doubts about the symbolism of this philosophical approach. However the initiative is beautiful and the place in the woods is nice. It deserves to be valued more

To summarise and save you the bother of going, a 5 minute walk from the 'car park' (space for about 3 cars which is the first warning sign) are some scrawny trees with bits of rags and ropey material hanging in them. It gives Blair Witch jumble sale vibes, at best. At worst it gives post-festival dumping ground. Certainly nothing mystical or magical about either.
In the middle of the path is a small, and I mean small, upturned stone that looks like a sunken bird bath with some coins in. This is the well. If you are distracted by a low hanging sock flapping in your face, there is every chance you will step in the well without realising it's there. Maybe this would bring extra healing, I don't know, as fortunately I saw it just long enough for me to ask "is this it?"
It feels like an experiment to see whether putting a noticeboard & a map up can convince people something is historical and significant and when we returned to the car to see other people reading said map and setting off with their walking poles in search of the enchanting Clootie Well I almost felt bad for letting them set off.

I don’t see what all the fuss is about. It’s about a 3 minute walk from the car park to the well which is in effect a small puddle with some coins in.
There were about 5-10 pieces of clothing hanging from the trees. There was nothing at all magical about the experience for us and we wished we hadn’t bothered.

I first went here 7 years ago and the wood was absolute covered in clothes and rags and admit it was a bit untidy but each item represented someone’s hope someone’s wish . Went there september and there was hardly any thing blink and you would miss the well it’s lost the magic and uniqueness of the place.

We visited the Clootie Well out of curiosity. Wish we hadn't wasted our time, not my cup of tea. A lot of old peices of fabric, in particular, socks. I guess if you believe in the myth it's worth a visit and I wonder how many who have tied something to a tree really do.

A quirky but interesting place. Definitely worth visiting if you're in the area and/or passing by, as only takes 20 mins to take a look around.

Right off the road just to the northwest of Munlochy on the Black Isle is this fascinating cultural gem.
Legend has it that tying a rag to a tree in or around this well will help healing or relieve you of burdens. A visit here confirms that many people believe in this.
There is a sign right on A832 pointing to the well, as well as ample free parking and a trail sign guiding you to it. It's not far from the carpark, all of 100 yards.

This is a must see, there are hundreds of ideas tie to the trees. Some have messages on them.
They say if you make a offering at the well and hope for healing. Easy to fine.

Apparently “clootie (cloth) wells” are an ancient pagan Celtic tradition, whereby pilgrims would tie a piece of cloth in an area around a well, and pray to the local spirit/God for healing from whatever symptoms ailed them. As the cloth gradually rotted away, it was hoped that the illness would depart from the sick person.
This well is said to date back to at least the time of St. Boniface /St. Curitan who was a missionary in Scotland in AD 620, if not before then.
However, people with nothing better to do ( probably during lockdown ) have adorned the poor trees with all manner of rubbish - a lot of it synthetic and non-biodegradable. There are masks, belts, shoes, toys, hats, wraps, towels, underwear & florescent clothing - to mention a few of the unsuitable - when traditionally it should just be a strip of organic material. It presently looks like the contents of a charity shop ( or two) are strung around the trees and strangling them. Just another sad example of people taking an ancient custom and distorting it to suit their agenda.
It’s a pity as it’s a natural attraction that’s been turned into an unnatural one.
