001.15 | This name applies to the site of an old Chapel situated in the Graveyard adjoining the General assembly school, the foundation of which was found to be entire A.D. 1840 when diging some Graves. Nothing appears to be known about the date of its erection or when disused, also opinion is divided as to the exact personage whose name this was a corruption of. Ethernan a Bishop and Confessor who laboured in the north of Scotland about the close of the Sixth Century, Ædan a disciple of Columba (A.D. 563) and afterwards Bishop of Lindisfarne, who died A.D. 681 and Æta Eata Ædan's successors in the same see, have each in turn been brought forward as the most likely to give rise to the name. It is traditionaly believed in the village that the Stones which Constructed this Chapel were taken to build a Mill about a mile West of the village at the Confluence of the rivulet known as Millie Burn with the sea W.
