In the various accounts
of the Parish of Whittingham
there is notice of
a chapel having been
at Some former time
Situated on the lands of
Penshiel. In Some
later accounts it is Said
to have Stood in a glen
Called Chapel Haugh
near Penshiel Tower.
Will you please inform
me whether you can point
out the identical spot
or probable place where
the Chapel of Penshiel Stood.
I am of opinion
Mr. James Darling
Sir
In answer to your inquiry
a portion of the old Tower
or Vault of Penshiel is still
standing, arched with stone.
It is surrounded by the
foundations of several
buildings, but a few hundred
yards to the west a large stone
stands erect called the Chapel Stone
A short distance from that
Stone there is the foundation
of a building fifty feet
long twenty feet broad standing
from east to west, which
is presumed to be the
foundation of the Chapel
a little to the north
is a glen in which is the |
