045 | The remains of an ancient Chapel situated in the graveyard near the parish church of Chapel of Garioch. The following is its history given by Mr Selbie, teacher. "A residence of the Leslies of Balquhain was at Tullos about two miles south from where the parish church now stands. A member of the family died suddenly without the last offices of a priest. The survivors then built and dedicated to the Virgin Mary the Chapel called it St Mary's, to which every morning at 8 o'clock, summer and winter, they repaired and offered up prayers for the soul of the departed. By and bye it became to be called the Chapel of the Garioch and was used as a regular and public place of worship, though at first it was built for the purpose of special intercession for the soul of one individual. Then when the site of the parish church was removed from Old Logie, it became, about the beginning of the 17th Century, the parish church and the parish was then called "the Chapel of Garioch," and no longer "Logie Durno." The site of it is in the churchyard, a little to the south of the present church." I conjecture the chapel originates in pictish times. JMD |
