Site of a chapel dedicated to St John the Baptist, said to have stood at Baikie. In 1361-2 David II confirmed a charter by William Fenton of Baikie granting the lands of Lunross to the chaplain celebrating in the chapel. Jervise states that the chapel site is doubtful, but a Manuscript of 1641 describes it as being 'adjacent to the Smiddylands of Baikie'. However, he also states that it stood in the Kirkshed, near Lindertis. When the field known as the Kirkshed was being ploughed, Mr Duncan's grandfather came across the foundations of what he considered to be the chapel, and mortared stones have been dug up in several places in the field. Mr Duncan was unable to point out the spot where the foundations had been located. Today there are no remains of this chapel to be seen nor can its site be accurately located. Sir T. Munro of Lindertis believes its site to be at NO 3299 5013 because he remembers that in his youth there were many stones here but whether this was the site of the manse or of the church cannot be ascertained.
