What is recorded here

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Edinburgh, 5b York Place, St George's Chapel as Chapel (18th Century). The official map says its point is accurate as follows: NGR given to the nearest 1m. The record does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
St George's Chapel in Edinburgh is traditionally associated with St George, the patron saint of England and a widely venerated figure in Christian tradition, though his cult was also respected in Scotland, particularly among soldiers and the gentry. While no specific local cures or holy well traditions are recorded at this site, chapels dedicated to St George were often linked to healing, protection, and military victory in medieval and early modern folklore.

The historic-place record does not grant public access. Check current conditions and ownership before entering land or a building.
