Parish of Liberton"A protestant Presbyterian Chapel was erected at Craigmillar during the indulgence granted by James Vll, which at the termination of the persecution and the restoration of Presbyterian worship became unnecessary and is now used as a stable or outhouse."

Note. This chapel was built (apparently) between 1684 and 1688 but as it is not connected with any historical event it need not be written as an antiquity.
