226 | About 30 years ago John Kerr (the authority quoted) removed from a field at Narachan the foundation of a building about 70 links in length and 30 in breadth, (as pointed out by him on ground) not a vestige of it now remains, Said by the Authorities quoted to have been a Chapel near to & surrounding it stone cists containing human remains have been discovered, indicating traces of a burial ground. It is pretty generally known as the Site of a Chapel. Mr McBride is of opinion that it is this which Sir Walter Scott in "Lord of the Isles" Styles the Convent of St. Bride. "The ruins of the convent of St. Bride celebrated by Sir Walter Scott, in his Lord of the Isles as the lonely residence of the Lady Isabella were but recently to be Seen at Lochranza The very foundation has lately been razed and removed, & not a Stone now marks the cloisters where dwelt the Maid of Lorn". New Stat Acct. [Statistical Account] "There is a church at the head of Lochranza built in 1795. It appears to occupy the site of an older, which is marked but not named by Blaeu about the year 1640. which Pennant in 1772. says was founded & endowed by Ann Duchess of Hamilton in aid of the Ph. [Parish] Church of Kilbride, which Sir Walter Scott in 1815, founding probably on what is said by Pennant, styles the Convent of St. Bride. Martin about 1700 mentions a church of St. James at the north-end of the island" |
