"At a place called Chapelden, in the land of Auchmedden, the ruins of a Roman Catholic Chapel are still to be seen, on a haugh opposite the Toar of Troup. The walls are completely demolished, and nothing remains but a heap of stones which have been held Sacred by the husbandman, for Although in the midst of a Cultivated field, they have never been touched by the plough."
