Haddington, Saint Catherine's Chapel

Chapel (medieval)

What is recorded here

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Haddington, Saint Catherine's Chapel as Chapel (medieval). 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.
Linked to Saint Catherine of Alexandria, a Christian martyr venerated in medieval Scotland, the chapel and its associated holy well may have been sites of pilgrimage and healing rituals. Local tradition sometimes connects such chapels to pre-Christian sacred sites, with Catherine's feast day (November 25) historically marked by customs such as the blessing of wells and offerings for protection and fertility.
