| ST TEAR'S CHURCH (Remains of) | Site of Chapel of St Tears Site of Chapel of St Tears |
John Thane, William Thane, James Flett |
020 | The site of this Chapel is still visible on the ground, being marKedly a rectangular furrow. Is on the west side of a small drain, dividing the arable fields & About 100 yards to the South of Red Kilns, also about 1/2 a mile to the East of AcKergill Tower. It was much resorted to as a place of penitential offering during the darK days of Papacy, and even after the introduction of the religion of liberation, into this distant part of the then benighted north, the deluded peasantry of the district would come and leave a meat of offering and drinK offering for the propitiation of their Patron Saint. When they became somewhat more en lightened they found that the Saint did not accept their offering but that so soon as they turned their bacKs, a few greedy half starved mangy dogs who were watching their opportunity close by, voraciously pounced upon it and ate it up, even before the poor priest could claim it for himself. It is spoken of as having been the scene of an encounter between two hostile Chiefs resident in the County with their respective retainers, i.e. the Clans Keith & Gunn. The feud is said to have come to the sticKing point by reason of the Keith's carrying off clandestinely a daughter of Gunn of Ulbster & Halberry well Known throughout the county as the "fair Helen of Braemore" Over - other side.
