Sheet 2 No. 9 -- Trace 3

From your answer to a remark concerning "Site of St. Ninian's Chapel" near Blackness, I understand there is mention of this Chapel in the Town's records of Linlithgows. [Linlithgowshire] You will observe that there was a St Ninian's Chapel within the town of Linlithgow itself, & therefore care should be taken not to confound the one with the other

Will you have the goodness to transcribe from the Town's records the notices that refer to the chapel at Blackness or at least such extract as will relate to the identity of the site pointed out near Blackness.

You will find from the accompaning extracts, taken from the Burgh Records of Linlithgow, that a Chapel dedicated to St. Ninian stood in the village of Blackness, And that this object has not been Confounded with the Chapel of the same name wich stood which stood in Linlilithgow.
