Old Photograph MacDuff Chapel Earlsferry Fife Scotland

Old photograph of MacDuff Chapel by Earlsferry, East Neuk of Fife, Scotland. The remains of this medieval chapel are located on a grassy headland overlooking the Forth Estuary a short distance south of the former fishing village of Earlsferry. The chapel may have been built alongside a small hospital, attached to a nearby monastery, to tend to poor travellers, some of whom may have been making a pilgrimage to St Andrews Cathedral. There was a similar chapel across the Forth Estuary in North Berwick, East Lothian, and both chapels may have been attended to by nuns from North Berwick. The chapel was built by MacDuff, Earl of Fife, in 1093.
