Full Description
Site of a chapel which belonged to the Abbey of Deer, and graveyard still in use. A charter of 1474 confirmed earlier grants of annual rents, lands and fishings to the chapel. The remains of the chapel were still visible within a burial ground in 1840, but in circa 1890 a man was commissioned to level out the cemetery and the remains of the chapel were removed. The burial ground of the former chapel also contains the 18th Century Udny family burial vault. The vault is a small rectangular building with low walls and tall roof, straight skews with skewputt, entrance raised and swept in roof and a tall blind gablet at the back. There are a few 18th century gravestones are in the graveyard which is still in use.
