Orakirk

Chapel (medieval)

What is recorded here

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Orakirk 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.
Orakirk is linked to St Oran, a 7th-century Irish monk and companion of St Columba, associated with healing and pilgrimage traditions. The name "Orakirk" (meaning "Oran's church") reflects its historical role as a place of worship and veneration, though specific folklore or recorded cures connected to the site are limited.

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