Boyken Burn

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Boyken Burn as Chapel (14th Century). The official map says its point is accurate as follows: NGR given to the nearest 1km. The record does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.

Boyken Burn is associated with Saint Botolph (also known as Botwulf or Botolph of Icklingham), a 7th-century Anglo-Saxon saint venerated in eastern England and parts of Scotland. Traditionally linked to waymarkers and travelers, the site may have been a place of pilgrimage or prayer for safe journeys, reflecting the saint’s role as a protector of roads and travelers.
