Tour Scotland video of Magdalen Chapel on ancestry visit to the Old Town in Edinburgh, Scotland. A 16th century Scottish almshouse chapel built with monies left by Michael MacQueen in 1537. Work was completed in 1544 and it operated as a hospital almshouse, dedicated to Mary Magdalen, under the control of MacQueen's widow, Janet Rynd until her death in 1553, when it passed to the Incorporation of Hammermen, metalworkers. It is now the headquarters of the Scottish Reformation Society..
