100 Applies to the site of an ancient Chapel situated in the district of Kirbuster about 18 Chains north from Brettabreck & nearly half a mile west from Upper Arion, The history of this object is lost, but it is generally believed to have been used at a period when popery prevailed here, The 14th Century is the period to which it is popularly ascribed, From the fact that mention fails to be made of this Chapel in "Rentale Orchadie pro Regs et Episcops", it is considered to have fallen into disuse prior to 1595, when those were compiled,
