The Netherbow Wellhead

The Netherbow Wellhead

This wellhead originates from around 1675.

The wellheads provided water from Comiston Springs via the Castlehill Reservoir for the inhabitants of the Old Town.

The Netherbow Wellhead was repaired and restored to use with a basin and running drinking water by the Edinburgh Old Town Renewal Trust and Lothian and Edinburgh Enterprise Limited in 1997.

The Wellhead sits just outside John Knox's house on The Royal Mile.
