Sc chapel + Sc toun
‘Farm on lands attached to a chapel.’ The eponymous chapel lay on the lands of Scotscraig FPC and probably served the parishioners as a chapel of ease in this northern corner of the medieval parish of Leuchars until the creation of the separate parish of Ferry-Port-on-Craig and the building of a parish kirk on a different site in 1606. The chapel was dedicated to St John, and probably lay near Arnoldsland, at NO4543 2784, in a field referred to in the 1790s as ‘the Chapel’ (OSA, 365; see FPC Intro., above, for more details).
