Health Drink

"The General's Well" on the banks of the river Ness opposite the Islands in Inverness. A plaque claims that the spring is thought to have early religious significance but it takes it's name from a General MacIntyre who drank from it every day thinking it had health-giving properties. He's long dead now - the small metal plate, visible to the left, that says the water is undrinkable came too late for him. There used not long ago to be a big metal ladle on the end of the chain. Probably gone thanks to mindless vandalism or a souvenir hunter. Or perhaps Health & Safety decided it might encourage someone to taste the deadly germ-laden brew.
