W Stephen 1921

Incorporated in the walling of a disused graveyard at North Queensferry are the remains of the Chapel of St James. The west wall of the nave survives complete and contains a two-light mullioned window of the 16th century, partly blocked; in the apex of the gable and on the right side of the graveyard gateway are datestones of 1752.

Approximately 7.5 metres of the west end of the north wall of the nave is also traceable.

Visited by OS (AC) 11 March 1959.
