OS 6" map, (1958)
A small late featureless chapel which fell out of use in 1745 but has since become the family chapel of the House of Gleneagles and is used occasionally. Its date can be fixed approximately from a stone in the eastern gable on which is carved the pale of the Erskine family - Sir James Haldane having married Margaret Erskine in 1518. St. Mungo is the patron saint and the chapel probably replaced an earlier one. It was restored by General Haldane (1929).
Name Book 1863; W M Mackenzie 1927; A Haldane 1929.
This building is now much modernised with a slate-roof and stain-glass windows and is in a good state of repair. The carved stone mentioned by Haldane is no longer visible in the east gable. The chapel is used on special occasions only.
Visited by OS (W D J) 21 June 1967.
