"In October 1782 this apparently led to Rev Anderson climbing to the top of the byre in a fit of rage and there “in a most violent manner tore off and threw to the ground the whole feals or divots with which the said byre was finished and topped in the usual manner whereby the thatch was in danger of being destroyed and carried away by wind and weather” Part 3 of the history of the #Church in

"With the difficulty in travelling when roads were very poor or non-existent, a number of other small chapels also existed on Stronsay at various times, usually erected near to larger farms where there would have been more folk to come along to worship or built near the sea where easy access could be made by boat. There is now little to be seen of any of those buildings other than to be remembered in a field name or local folklore." The Church in #Stronsay Part 2
