The chapel is dedicated to Our Lady (the Virgin Mary) and St Michael, with St Michael traditionally associated with protection, healing, and the defeat of evil. While no specific local cures or folklore are widely recorded for this site, Catholic chapels in rural Scotland often became centres for pilgrimage and devotion, particularly to the Virgin Mary, who is venerated for her intercessory role in healing and protection.
