No one would probably visit a place that is so haunting like this spot in Munlochy, Black Isle, Scotland. Looking like a plane crash site, this forest is all covered with thousands of dilapidated cloths tied on trees.

Originating from the Scottish word for cloth, Clootie Well bears witness to an ancient pagan tradition that calls water spirits for healing. A piece of cloth is dipped into the water of the holy well, knotted to a branch and then left to rot. It is bad luck to remove the offerings from the Clootie Well so don’t you dare touch anything.

Although paganism is discouraged in many countries, Scotland continues to invite visitors to carry out the tradition and bring more cloths to Munlochy Clootie Well.
Prepare your trip to Scotland and see this site before it’s gone.
