What is recorded here

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Traquair Parish Church as Church (18th Century). The official map says its point is accurate as follows: NGR given to the nearest 1m. The record does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
Traquair Parish Church is associated with Saint Fillan, a 7th-century Irish monk and healer, and is traditionally linked to the care of the sick and the blessing of wells. Local folklore suggests that holy water from nearby wells was used in conjunction with prayers at the church for curing ailments, particularly those of the eyes and skin.

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