This chapel stood a short distance east of the convent of St. Catherine and close to the spot where the mansion house of Scienneshill now stands. Portion of the garden wall adjoining this house appears to have formed part of the ancient edifice. All other traces of its existence have long since dissapeared. |

Ordnance Survey - Midlothian county
Ordnance Survey was established in the 18th century to create maps, surveys and associated records for the entirety of Great Britain. These records are arranged by county. This entry has been created to enable searching for Ordnance Survey records for the county of Midlothian, which is in the east of Scotland. The boundaries of the county were altered by the Boundary Commissioners in 1891.
