106 | One of the gable-ends of an ancient Romish Chapel, it is about 12ft in height and about 4ft thick, It has been several times repaired on account of its being an old land mark for vessels entering the Sound of Hoy. "In the burial-place, there is the ruin of an old church, which probably was erected when Popery prevailed, or perhaps at a later period". (Extract from New St [Statistical] Account) "Between this (Brackness-head) and the town are the ruins of the old Parish Church, surrounded with the cemetery, and, in other places are ruins of ancient Chapels whose history is lost" Fullartons Gazetteer, This building is generally believed to date prior to the reformation |
