    The natural well was decorated with the crown-shaped monument to honour Queen Victoria. The inscription reads:

    Her Majesty, Queen Victoria, and his Royal Highness the Prince Consort, visited this well and drank of its refreshing waters, on the 20th September, 1861, the year of Her Majesty’s great sorrow.

    Queen Victoria rode from Balmoral to meet Lord Dalhousie and stay in Invermark Lodge. They met at this spring and after her visit the crown was built to commemorate her.
    Apparently the water is no longer safe to drink without treatment.
