[St. Helen's Well] "From the particular time of the year at which it is supposed to possess
healing virtues thousands having usually bathed on first Sabbath old
stile, it would appear that it acquired celebrity under Pagan superstition
& that the christians afterwards attached to it the name of one of their saints.
" McCarter's Ayrshire
