Description

St Ronan's Well, located on Well's Brae in Innerleithen, was designed by William Playfair in 1826 and reconstructed in 1896 with additional features. It is a single-storey, five-bay pavilion with a symmetrical design and a pedimented open loggia. The pavilion has flanking, recessed, bowed conical-roofed bays and long plain wings that extend to the sides. At the rear, there is a small wing forming a T-plan. Attached to the southeast corner is a later large single-storey and attic former bottling plant with a piended roof, which has four bays.

The pavilion features chamfered timber colonettes and timber boarding, while the ancillary wings are finished in painted render with smooth red sandstone margins around the conical bays and painted margins elsewhere. The pavilion's pediment displays a Royal Crest. The bottling plant has a canted corner with a former delivery door that is now infilled, along with a hoist above.

The windows predominantly have a 9-pane over plain glazing pattern in timber sash and case style, with plain glazing at the rear. The former bottling plant has fixed 18-pane timber casements. Inside the pavilion, the floor is made of grey flagstone, and the roof is covered with grey slate, featuring timber bracketed eaves and decorative clay ridge tiles. There are corniced square brick chimney stacks and cast-iron rainwater goods.

The interior of the pavilion has been converted into caretaker's accommodation, which includes an Edwardian-style timber chimneypiece. Some walls in the bottling plant are finished with white glazed brick.

The boundary walls consist of tall rubble walls with cement copes to the north and west, while there is a low rubble wall to the east with cast iron gates and gatepiers.
