What is recorded here

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Humbie Holm as Chapel (medieval), Coin(s) (period Unknown). The official map says its point is accurate as follows: NGR given to the nearest 100m. The record does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
Humbie Holm is associated with Saint Humbert, a 7th-century Irish saint believed to have founded a monastic site on the holm (island) near the River Tyne in East Lothian. The site was traditionally linked to healing rituals and the use of holy water, with local folklore suggesting that coins left at the well were offerings for protection or as a sign of gratitude for cures.

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