Scope and Content Sketch of the interior of St Triduana's Chapel, Restalrig, Edinburgh St Triduana's Chapel, dating from the 15th century, stands at the south-west corner of ancient parish church of Restalrig. The chapel was dedicated to the obscure St Triduana, who acquired a reputation for curing eye complaints. This vaulted chamber, formerly lit by four windows, formed the lower level of the chapel. It is supported by a central pillar, and its ribs make a six-point star. The water filling the interior is kept at a fixed level by a pump under the perimeter slabs. According to legend, St Triduana came to Restalrig to spend her days healing the blind who journeyed from all parts of the country to 'mend their ene' in its special waters which may have flowed from the well which still regularly floods the chapel.
