with the hermit's cell adjoining. During the Earl of Hertfords ravages in May 1544 he
destroyed the chapel of our Lady of Loretto with a part of the town. It was soon repaired
but it was finally abolished at the reformation; And in 1590 the materials of the
Chapel which had once so many votaries, were Converted by unhallowed hands to the
building of the Tolbooth of Musselburgh."
