There appears to have been a church or chapel on Pladda (NS 02 19). Fordun and other chroniclers from 1400 to 1500 speak of the isle of St Blase (St Blaise (McLellan 1970)) of Pladda. Nothing now remains to mark its site, and its whereabouts are unknown (ONB 1864).
Orig Paroch Scot 1854; Name Book 1864; R McLellan 1970.
ONB statement confirmed. No further information.
