The remains of a chapel, St Mary's of Stoneywood' built in 1367 are situated on the left bank of the Green Burn within a stone-walled burial-ground. They share their lovely spot with tombstones and a Holy Well. The well was considered medicinally beneficial for the stomach and was also used to heal ulcerous tumours of the skin. Even in it’s dry state this lovely setting helps retain its source of hope and belief. Located just south of the A96 at Chapel of Stoneywood.
