Remains of a chapel, also known as Maisondieu. The hospital designated Maison Dieu was founded in 1256 by William de Brechin, whose charter refers to St Mary's Chapel of his foundation and to the master, chaplains and poor people there. Bedesmen were still being maintained in 1582, and there are references to the mastership until at least 1636, when the office was conjoined with a mastership in the grammar school. The chapel seems to have still been in use in the 18th century, but by the 1800s the chapel had been partially demolished and was in use as a stable. The surviving walling was repaired in 1900 by John Honeyman, and consists of the rubble-built south wall of the hospital chapel, and parts of the east wall survive within the west gable of the adjacent house. The south wall contains a doorway with a nook shaft in each jamb and a moulded arch, and three lancet windows and the jamb of a fourth. There is a piscina in the south wall, but the details are damaged. A filled lancet window exists in the west gable of the adjacent house, which was probably originally part of the east gable of the chapel.
