    Tips

    June 7, 2020

    Torphichen's Jubilee Well was built in 1852 at a time when few houses had their own water supply. In 1896 a plaque of Queen Victoria was added to commemorate her Diamond Jubilee of 60 years on the throne. The well was refurbished in 2016 and its concrete roof was replaced with a new stainless steel roof complete with Maltese Cross finial. The Maltese cross is the symbol of the Knights Hospitaller of the Order of St John who made their Scottish headquarters at Torphichen circa 1160. The nearby Preceptory contains some remains.
