What is recorded here
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Edinburgh, Horse Wynd, Gaelic Chapel as Church (19th 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.
Linked to Saint Fillan in local tradition, the Gaelic Chapel in Horse Wynd is associated with healing rituals and the use of sacred water, reflecting broader Scottish Gaelic practices of connecting chapels with holy wells for spiritual and physical cure. Though the chapel itself is 19th-century, its name and purpose suggest a continuation of earlier medieval or pre-Reformation devotional customs.
