It is marked on the c.1855 OS map, which you can view at
http://www.old-maps.co.uk/oldSite/10edinb641/HTML/fs_64006001l.htm
but from the 'Edinburgh Street Atlas' (Geographia, no date but I think I
bought it about 10 years ago, or more!) it looks as if this area has been
completely reorganised. The street name 'Springwood Park' immediately to the
north-east of Liberton Kirk would seem to recall the site of the Well.
Yours aye,
