| CHAPEL (Site of) [Langton Wood] | Chapel (Site of) | Mr Thomas Brown Mr John Gow Mr John Patterson |
016.10 | Nothing Now remains of the building but the foundation, which appears to have been of inconsiderable dimentions. It is situated at the S. [South] West end of Langton Wood. -- Sir. "Alexander Cockburn" resided at that time (1679) in Langton Castle, which stood in what is now Called Little Byres Park. A chapel was built soon afterwards in Langton wood, opposite Haining Rigg - which was occupied by Mr Ogle, & where John Veitch is reported to have preached occasionally, & baptized the children of some of the parishioners. The Duke of Lauderdale though applied to by some of the Episcopalians, refused to institute proceedings against Mr Veitch for Preaching in the Chapel - After the Revolution, when the parish church was again filled by a Presbyterian Minister, it is probable that the Chapel was granted to the handful of Episcopalians who resided in the Neighbourhood; and from this Circumstance it was erroneously supposed to have been an Episcopal chapel -- |
