| St Palladius' Chapel Contd [Continued] | [Continued from Page 133] "Although the period when St Palladius' Chapel was built Cannot now be ascertained , yet we are certain the Chapel is of great antiquity. This is not only evident from the appearance of the foundations, but also from the universal declaration of the early Scotch historians, that Kenneth the Third, who was killed by Finella near Kincardine Castle or Palace in this parish, had come to Kincardine, in order to make a Pilgrimage to St Palladius' Chapel. Kenneth ascended the throne in 970 and was murdered in 994, and from the circumstance of his making a pilgrimage to the Chapel at Fordoun, it must have been a place of noted Sanctity before that period. There is a well in the Minister's ground called St Palladius' Well, from whence the monks who had charge of the Shrine and the pilgrims were probably furnished with water. An old house which stood at the entry into the Churchyard and was pulled down within these four years, in order to enlarge the burying ground went formerly by the name of the Manse, and perhaps was the habitation of the Monks. (Page 67) The Monks who had charge of the Chapel had probably been buried in it, as lately when opening up a part of the floor, it was found to be filled with bones placed under regular arches. There is, besides, a Vault placed at some depth under ground " (Page 80) (New Stat Act.) [New Statistical Account] [Continued on Page 135] |
