Last pic is beautiful. Where it be ?

Is it standing over a water well or something :?

As dyna says it's a well, the Queen's Well in Glen Mark on the southern approach to Mount Keen.
Described thus "the ornate canopy of the Queen's Well commemorates a spot where Queen Victoria rested on her travels in 1861".
Had a comfort stop more like or as we working class oiks would say "had a pish". Subsequently euphemistically named the Queen's Well, maybe the stone arches were for curtains to protect her modesty the next time.

Taken from wiki

" Queen Victoria and her consort Prince Albert purchased Balmoral Castle and delighted in travelling the mountain routes around. In 1861 they rode the 15 miles (24 km) from Balmoral to Glen Mark and met with Lord Dalhousie beside an artesian well. Here they were refreshed by the spring water before continuing to Invermark Lodge where they stayed overnight. To commemorate the visit, Lord Dalhousie erected a monument in the shape of a royal crown over the well. An inscription on the monument reads:
Her Majesty, Queen Victoria, and his Royal Highness the Prince Consort, visited this well and drank of its refreshing waters, on the 20th September, 1861, the year of Her Majesty's great sorrow.
".

Tell us you didnt use it for that
