43 Chapel (ruins of)
[Note] R. Grierson an intelligent man about 56 years of age & born in the neighbourhood
relates the tradition concerning this old chapel he says he heard it from the late
Mr. Hunter of Lochrinny that it was a tradition in his young day that a chapel existed
here at some remote period. The name Chapel Rig in some degree confirms
this tradition. Chalmers in Caledonia vol. [volume] 3. P. [Page] 320 Says, "There still exists the ruins
of Several other chapels in different parts of this extensive parish." Also, in the old
Stat. Acct. [Statistical Account] of Dalry Parish the minister makes a similar remark.
