St.Margaret's Well near Jock's Lodge, Restalrig, Edinburgh. The well originating from medieval times had a vaulted ceiling and was modelled on St.Triduana's Well at nearby Restalrig Parish Church. The well was moved in 1859 to Holyrood Park to allow for the extension of the St.Margaret Workshops by the North British Railway Company.
