What is recorded here
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Anstruther Easter, St Ayle's Chapel as Chapel (16th Century). The official map says its point is accurate as follows: NGR given to the nearest 10m. The record does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
St Ayle's Chapel in Anstruther Easter is associated with St Ayle (or Ailbe), a 6th-century Irish saint known for founding monastic sites in Pembrokeshire and possibly the Scottish borders. The chapel, though 16th-century in construction, may mark an earlier holy site linked to pilgrimage or healing traditions, though specific cures or folklore connected to this location remain poorly documented.
The historic-place record does not grant public access. Check current conditions and ownership before entering land or a building.
