At College of Roseisle '... in the 7th century there is presumed to have been a Columban chapel established from St Aetlian's Oratory at Burghead (cf. NJ16NW 2 and NJ16NW 6 ); and in Culdee times a small settlement of monks. The site of the College is uncertain and its history has perished.' (For college site, see NJ16NW 52.)
