| CHAPEL (Site of) [Bogue] | Old Chapel (Site of) | James Fauld James Barbour |
016 | [Situation] About 3/4 mile S.[South] of Bogue Fell. This name applies to the site of an old Chapel which is supposed to have been built in the time of Pope Gregory 7th. This supposition is derived from the fact of finding a Stone in the immediate vicinity of this site with the inscription POPE G.7. inscribed upon it. This stone is now removed to Bogue Cottage. (see remark) "In the farm of Bogue is shown a flat stone of no great size on which is inscribed P.G.VII which is supposed to have been the foundation stone of a little chapel built in the time of Pope Gregory VII of which no other vestige now remains: but as in the same farm there is a place called Chapel Yard, as in the farm of Cleugh there was some years ago, a dwellinghouse called the Chapelwalls and as in many other parts of this Country there are standing houses or vestiges of houses which still bear the name of Chapels it is manifest that these have been very frequent."
