About St Mary's Chapel, Rattray

St Mary's Chapel stands at the south end of the Loch of Strathbeg.Thought to have been built in the early 13th century by the Comyn family, it served as a private chapel for the nearby castle and is all that remains of the medieval burgh of Rattray.The chapel is rectangular in plan, constructed of grey whinstone with red sandstone around the openings. Both gables survive to full height, featuring three lancet windows in the east gable and a single window opening in the west.It is believed the chapel went out of use in the 16th century, replaced by a new parish church in the village of Crimond to the west.
