Inchmurdo Chapel / Bishop's Palace Lower Kenly

Inchmurdo Chapel / Bishop's Palace Lower Kenly

During the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries the bishops of St Andrews had a residence at Inchmurdo. This has been tentatively identified as being located near the dovecote at Lower Kenly. In the 1980s some remains possibly associated with the palace were found in a field at Lower Kenly on the south side of the burn. Local tradition states that there was a chapel as part of the palace.
