Notes
'There was a chapel of the BVM in the cemetery of the parisk kirk of Leslie in the later middle ages. It is first mentioned in 1321. ... Maryfield is about 1 km west of the parish kirk, and probably represented a detached piece of land dedicated to the upkeep of the chapel' (Taylor with Márkus, ii, 379).
