B Group with Scotlandwell Well Road, Well (see separate listing). From the 13th century pilgrimages were made to Scotland Well to take the water, among whom was supposedly King Robert the Bruce. Between 1857 and 1860 Thomas Bruce of Arnot carried out an improvement scheme for the village of Scotlandwell. David Bryce was commissioned to design the wash house, where, according to Kinross-shire Civic Trust, there was originally a "half ruinous building used sometimes as a washing house and sometimes as a slaughter house". Bryce also designed a new well (see separate listing).
