    A strange memorial to a recluse named Robert Alfred Colby Cubbin, a millionaire's son from Liverpool who travelled regularly to the Western Isles and moored his steamship in the mouth of the Creed and would sit by the river for solitude.

    The Iron Well gets its name from the Iron Rich water that supplies it giving the water its characteristic orange tinge.
