(NF 7365 1737) Burial Ground (NR)
OS 6"map, Inverness-shire, 2nd ed., (1904)
The burial ground 1 mile south of North Boisdale and 1 mile north-west of South Boisdale is the supposed site of a chapel. A local mason maintained the site was in the south-west corner of the graveyard and that he destroyed the foundations when building tombs, but a much older man pointed out a spot to the north as the site and said the chapel was traditionally known as the one where McDonald of Boisdale seceded from the Roman Catholic faith.
Name Book 1878
No trace of a chapel could be found at either of the sites mentioned above. There are four relatively modern family vaults within the burial ground, which is no longer in use.
