OS 6" map, (1970).
The chapel of Whitefield of Boysack stood at Chapelton. The boundaries of the burying ground may still be traced, and part of the back wall of the chapel forms the lower portion of the modern, private burial place of the Kinblethmont family.
It is probable that this was the "Chapel of the Blessed Virgin Mary of Quhitfeild" mantioned in 1470.
D Miller 1860.
The modern burial enclosure of the Lindsay-Carnegies of Kinblethmont occupies the site of this chapel. The four walls forming this enclosure measure 10.0m E-W by 7.0m, but nowhere in them is any early masonry to be seen. If the N wall of the burial place does occupy the lower foundations of the chapel, it must be in the extreme lowest foundations for no change of masonry was noted. It thus seems that the chapel has been entirely removed. There are no gravestones within the precinct of the burial ground.
