104 | A plain looking ruin situated in Reilig Oran south of the Cathedral. "St. Oran's Chapel, the oldest existing ruin, is probably the work of the Norwegians, and were it not confronted with historical proofs, which raise very strong doubts of its dating higher than near, or toward the year 1300, it might have been esteemed as prior to the 11th century. A tomb pointed out as St. Oran's lies under a canopy of three pointed arches". Extracts from Imperial Gazetteer of Scotland. These arches are not now in existence. In this chapel are two tombstones one of which "commemorates a McRonald, and another the Angus Og who was with Bruce at Bannockburn". |
