Best Hikes to Meikle Kinord Chapel Ruins

Tips

  • A 16th century chapel and burial ground were located at a site close to a later smallholding, called Meikle Kinord, on the southern shore of Loch Kinord. The chapel became ruinous and all remains had disappeared by the mid 19th century. A new private chapel was built close to the site of the old chapel and graveyard by Sir West Cunliffe Brooks in 1885, but it was never consecrated or officially used for worship. It became a museum or sorts in the 1890s, intended to house a number of prehistoric log boats found in the loch previously. This never materialised and it later became a hay store for the small holding and is presently used as a general store. powis.scot/sites/meikle-kinord-private-chapel-9643

  • Someone has already written a detailed description here. At the top of the hill is the newer chapel, which now also has boarded-up windows and appears to be unused. Down by the water, you can find the remains of a wall, which can also be seen in the photos here. This may be the old chapel. However, I can't confirm this.
