Andrew discovered an artesian well rising into a brick vaulted chamber. Enquiries provided the information that the existing structure had been built in 1902 by Ayr County Council and that it provided water to the village of Mauchline for 10 years and was then abandoned when the new mains water pipeline was laid to serve Mauchline.

Although the new well was used to supply drinking water for the village of Mauchline, it had been used hundreds of years previously, pre-dating the time the Cisterian Monks formed a Monastery in Mauchline (the Abbot's Tower still remains) in the twelfth century. The history of Mauchline dates back to 681 A.D.

The water from the spring has been tested by Food Scan of Paisley and by our local Environmental Health Department both of whom passed it as potable. One official stated that the water 'so good it could be bottled straight from the well'.

The well produces 30 million litres of water per annum from it's 100mm bore hole and Consultant's opinion, subject to a full survey, is that a larger bore hole could produce any quantity of water required. Planning has already been granted for extraction and we also own full mineral rights.

This water is unique in that the source is in Mauchline, hometown of Robert Burns. He farmed at Mossgiel then moved to Mauchline where he married Jean Amour and set up home in Castle Street, which is now a museum. Burns penned most of his greatest works in Mauchline, giving us a unique marketing tool. this should assist in global recognition of the product, especially since he is responsible for writing the 'world's' anthem, Auld Lang Syne.
From the depths of Mauchline Sandstone Basin emanates the pure naturally filtered crystal clear waters of Burnswell Spring. The Spring has been in use since Mauchline became a settlement in 681 A.D. In 1137 the monks of Melrose Abbey formed a monastery. There still remains the Abbots tower which was built about 1420. Robert Burns arrived at Mossgiel Farm by Mauchline in 1784 where he penned most of his great works. He is also responsible for the 'world's' anthem Auld Lang Syne.
