Full Description
Site of a hospital. A hospital for the reception of poor travellers is mentioned in the early 13th century although it must have existed previously. It belonged to Elgin Cathedral. The buildings were said to have survived the reformation but were mostly removed for building of the bridge. Only a few mortared stones amongst the tree roots remain and there is no trace of a graveyard recorded. Supported by tolls from the nearby tollhouse at Boat O'Brig (NJ35SW0011). See also NJ35SW0097 for wall footing recorded in the vicinity in 2022.
