The notice is from Chalmers Caledonia vol. [volume] 2 P. [Page] 781 "St Roque's Chapel had a cemetery to which leprous persons were sent from Edinburgh during the prevalence of the plague; and in 1532 the magistrates granted to Sir John Young the chaplain four acres in the Borough-moor for keeping in repair the chapel and praying for the souls of those who were buried in its Cemetery. St. Roque's Chapel and its pertinents were converted after the reformation into private property by those men who could deride the piety of their fathers and had little other pretensions to religion than grimace & zeal.“
