Site of a chapel. The pre-Reformation chapel of the Blessed Virgin Mary stood on a site where the northeast corner of Arbroath harbour now is. It was founded some time before 1455, and served as a chapel-of-ease to the parish church of St Vigeans. There is little or no available information concerning the appearance and plan of the building. At the Reformation, it contained three altars, and although stripped of these and images, it continued in use as a place of reformed worship until circa 1590, by which time a new parish church was erected (NO64SW0021). Some remains were evidently still standing at the beginning of the 18th century, and were probably not removed until circa 1725 when the harbour was improved. This harbour was converted into a wet dock in 1877, and in the course of this work, the foundations of the chapel, some mouldings, and part of the adjoining graveyard were briefly revealed only to be destroyed in the construction work.
