| ST NICHOLAS' HOSPITAL (Remains of) | St Nicholas Hospital (Remains of) | John Mantach Esqr. Dundurcus Lewis N Fraser, Aucroisk Thomas Fraser, Schoolmaster, Boharm New Statistical Account |
013.09 | On a slight eminence on the banks of the River Spey, a few chains South of Boat of Bridge. Faint traces are visible of an ancient Hospital or Chapel, supposed to have been erected for the sole purpose of entertaining poor passengers travelling that way, and was supported partly, from a grant by King Alexander, dated at Cullen made to the Hospital of St. Nicholas, and one Muriel de Polloc, heiress of Rothes. It is supposed to have existed during the 12th Century - all that now remains is an old crumbling wall from 3 to 4 feet in height and 50 links long, it now forms part of the fence to the road and is supposed to be the wall of the Eastern gable. |
