Old Photograph Moses Well Hell's Glen Scotland

Old photograph of a farmer with two dogs at Moses Well in Hell's Glen near Lochgoilhead, Scotland. Hell's Glen is a glen in the Arrochar Alps between the mountains Cruach nam Mult and Stob an Eas. To the west, it leads to Loch Fyne and to the east, the high mountain Ben Donich. On the south-west side of the glen is a jumble of rocks. In the 19th century, a local minister constructed a spring in one of the rocks which was named after the incident in Exodus:

“ And the LORD said unto Moses, Go on before the people, and take with thee of the elders of Israel; and thy rod, wherewith thou smotest the river, take in thine hand, and go.

Behold, I will stand before thee there upon the rock in Horeb; and thou shalt smite the rock, and there shall come water out of it, that the people may drink. And Moses did so in the sight of the elders of Israel. ”
This then became a stop at which coaching horses and locals would drink.
