"The celebrated chapel dedicated to our Lady of Loretto, stood beyond the
Eastern gate of Musselburgh, and, on the margin of the links; but we have
no authentic account as to the time of its erection. Pilgrimages from all
parts of the Country were performed to this Shrine. According to Keith (280,)
it was Connected with the Nunnery of the Sciennes, in the South wing of
Edinburgh; and Gough, the Antiquarian, says regarding it, that pregnant
women sent handsome presents of money accompanying their Child bed linen
which latter was consecrated to promote their safe and easy delivery.
In August 1520, James V performed a pilgrimage from Stirling to
it, on foot, before setting sail for France, to woo and win a partner
for his throne"

"Here was the celebrated chapel of our Lady of Loretto at the east end of Muscilburgh
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."

PINKIE HOUSE |
|
|
|
Pinkie House Contd. [Continued from page 10] "Pinkie-house, the mansion of the barony, situated in the outskirt of Musselburgh, scarcely half a mile from the Esk and the same distance from the sea, is a large structure of various dates, and apparently was designed to be a magnificent Gothic quadrangle, but was never completed. An elaborately sculptured fountain, in the form of the papal tiara, stands on the green, in front, and seems to have been intended to occupy the centre of the court. The northern and oldest part of the edifice has great thickness of wall, is strongly arched on the ground floor, consists of a massive quadrangular tower shooting up in picturesque turrets, and contains a spacious apartment called "the King's room", and a number of curious smaller apartments which are entered at angles of the staircase. The southern and newer part cannot be of more recent date than the reign of James VI; and in addition to several beautiful apartments not so anciently fitted up, contains what is called the painted gallery, - whose roof exhibits, in compartments, pedantic and medley groups of the images of heraldry, mythology, and capricious creativeness. The mansion was originally a County Seat of the Abbots of Dunfermline, the superiors of regality of Musselburgh; and when, after the reformation, that regality was given to the Earl of Lauderdale, PinKie was detached from it, and bestowed on the earl of Dunfermline. James V, according to a traditional fama, had the use of the King's " J.B. [continued on page 12] |

PINKIE HOUSE |
|
|
|
"room during a summer from its mitred proprietor, for the covert and unhallowed indulgence of miserable Concubinage. The first Earl of Dunfermline died in the house in 1622, and was laid out in state in the Church of InveresK. The wounded at the battle of Pinkie were lodged in the painted gallery, and occupied it as an hospital."Fullarton's Gazetteer of Scotland Vol. [Volume] II Page 545
Nor of the origin of PinKie House have we any authentic accounts. It appears to have been originally a country seat appertaining ex officio to the Abbots of Dunfermline; and after the Reformation to have become private property. In 1593 the Abbacy was annexed to the Crown but the lordship of Musselburgh was excepted, and when afterwards a charter of infeftment was ratified in favour of the Earl of Lauderdale of the same lordship that of PinKie was excepted in favour of the Earl of Dunfermline. &c, &c, Stat.

CHAPEL OF OUR LADY OF LORETTO and HERMITAGE (Remains of) |
Loretto Chapel Site of |
|
|
A large mound of earth covered with trees (except a small portion on the top, and a vault) is all that marks the place where once stood the chapel of Loretto, or Alarite, Some years ago alterations were made here, when a quantity of human bones were found, and by the humane orders of the Revd [Reverend] Mr Langhorne were deposited again in the mound, No tradition remains of its founder, endower, or of the clergymen who once officiated here, except a remarKable one which if true, deserves to be handed down to the latest posterity. Adam Gordon Town Clerk of Musselburgh, and several others, have furnished me with the tradition, it is noticed at full length in a publication issued by the Wodrow society, taKen from a manuscript dated 1670, it was believed previous to the reformation that if Women about to be confined made offerings to the priest, and Friars of Loretto [continued on page 32] |

CHAPEL OF OUR LADY OF LORETTO and HERMITAGE (Remains of) |
|
|
|
[continued from page 31] Chapel, they would get an easy and safe deliverance it happened that the Lady of Cleish Wife of Robert
Colville, sent her servant with the customery present, her husband who began to see the foolishness of such a superstitious practice, when he heard of it posted after the servant to prevent the offering, but did not over take him, until he arrived in Musselburgh, where he found nearly the whole of the surrounding Country, Convened to see a miracle performed by the priest of Loretto. at the hour appointed a blind man (to all appearance) was led forward on a scaffold erected for the purpose, and after a few ceremonies performed, the man received his Sight. He
immediately decended from the scaffold when the people flocked around him, and gave him
money, The Laird of Cleish observing all that occurred and being a little sceptical respecting the miracle or the priests' power to perform one, Came to the conclusion to find out whether it was true or not, therefore he put himself in the way of the once blind but now clear sighted man, and gave him money liberally, at the same time hired him into his service, on arriving in Edinbro' [Edinburgh] at his Lodgings, the Laird took his new servant into his own chamber and closed the door firmly after him, he then drew his sword giving the fellow a most fierce look
and said, "thow Villian and deceiver of the people of God, tell me the truth of what I am going to ask you, or I will cut off your head, for I am a magistrate appointed by God to do justice, and I am assured that all the Priests, Friers, nor even the Pope himself arranged [continued on page 33] |

[continued from page 32] to perform a miracle, therefore thou, and they, are deceivers, tell me truly have you been born or ever have been blind, or with this sword, I will presently put you to death," trembling and astonished, the poor man cried, O, Sir spare my life, and I will tell you the truth, and thereby make Known there Knavery, "When I was a young lad, I was a herd and Kept the Sisters of the Sciennes sheep, and in my pastime, I used to flip the lids of my eyes, so that any body would have thought I was blind, the sisters saw me do it, (and laughed) after which the Kirkmen came from Edinbro' [Edinburgh] to see me, and caused me to play the same pavie turning My Eye lids and white of My Eyes up, They then ordered the Nuns to get another lad to Keep their Sheep, and to confine me in one of their vaults, and so sir I was Kept and fed in one of their vaults, for the space of seven years. Then Sir they brought me out and caused me to swear a great oath that I would feign myself blind and they put a person to lead me through the Country, that I might beg as a blind man, this I have never revealed before, not even to my leader," He then played his pavie before the Laird walking up and down as if blind, "Now that you have glorified God, in revealing the impositions, of these villians and deceivers the
KirKmen, and Nuns, you must go to the Cross on tomorrow, and make it Known to the people and I shall stand by yourside, with sword in hand, that no violence may be done to you, [continued on page 34] |

[continued from page 33] after which there will be two horses in waiting, to convey us to Fife, where the Lords of the Congregation, are up in defence of the reformed religion, the man acted accordingly, Soon after the Laird and him were out of reach of the foaming KirKmen, and Friars, Some years after this Circumstance had happened, according to my informants, the Chapel of Loretto was pulled down, and the materials of it, were used in the erection of the present Goal or Tolbooth of Musselburgh. Consequently it is said the Pope curses Musselbro' [Musselburgh] every year, |
