<dc:title>Ayton Chapel, Dunbog</dc:title>
<dc:description>The origins of the ruined chapel at Ayton are unclear, although it has (probably incorrectly) sometimes been thought to be the same site as a chapel granted to Arbroath Abbey in the 1170s. A church is shown at Ayton on James Gordon’s manuscript map of Fife (created in the 1640s) and on Joan Blaeu’s map of Fife (published in the 1650s). The surviving ruins appear to be early modern and have a carved stone armorial panel with the date 1683. Ayton Chapel was already abandoned in the nineteenth century when it was depicted as a ruin by the Ordnance Survey. There was formerly a burial ground associated with the chapel.</dc:description>
