Old Photograph St Anthony's Chapel Edinburgh Scotland

Old photograph of St Anthony's Chapel in Holyrood Park in Edinburgh, Scotland. The ruined St Anthony's Chapel stands above St Margaret's Loch. The origin and the history of the chapel are obscure, but it was certainly built no later than the early 15th century, as in 1426 it is recorded that the Pope gave money for its repair. The chapel may have been linked to the Preceptory of St. Anthony, a skin hospice, which was based in Leith around this time. It may have been linked to the nearby Holyrood Abbey.
