St Mary's chapel was opened in 1901 as the primary place of worship for the students and staff of Blairs College. Blairs College was a training school for young students considering a calling to the priesthood. The College was established in 1829 but it closed in 1986. The college grounds and buildings were recently sold to a property developer but the chapel was placed in a trust so that it can continue to be used as a church by the parish community.
