St Bernard's Well
A stone statue of the goddess Hygeia stands in St Bernard's Well, Edinburgh. The figure holds a goblet and a snake encircles the pillar beside her. The statue is protected by eight towering pillars
It's water is said to be capable of curing all manner of ailments.
In 1760 a natural spring was allegedly discovered by three members of George Heriot's above the Water of Leith and it quickly became an attraction for Edinburgh residents.
At the time drinking from springs or "taking the waters" was said to be an effective remedy for healing various maladies.
Twenty-nine years following its discovery, St Bernard's Well was erected and Edinburgh's incarnation of Hygeia was born. The well takes its name from Saint Bernard of Clairvaux who according to local legend had spent time living in a nearby cave
The structure itself was designed by Edinburgh painter Alex Nasmyth, who is best known for his drawings of the city's landscape and his portrait of poet Robert Burns. If you're paying attention to my posts, the painting of Princes Street from yesterday was by him.

Places To Visit In the #Berkshires, Where Culture Meets #Nature https://bit.ly/3OilKW9
The Berkshires are a lovely area, almost ripped from paintings at a museum. The Berkshires are dusted with magic, and the perfect place for a New England road trip.
