Description: "A building of high antiquity was situated at the east end of Musselburgh, which belonged to the abbacy of Dunfermline. It was called the Chapel of Loretto. There are no remains of it now but a small cell, about 12 feet by 10, covered by a mount in the garden of the gentleman who is now in possession of the villa called Loretto. Soon after the Reformation, about the year 1590; the tolbooth of Musselburgh was built out of the ruins of this chapel, which must have been of considerable dimensions." -- Old Statistical Account, 1792
