Teampull Bhuirgh is a medieval chapel and settlement located approximately 450 metres southwest of Borve Castle in Inverness-shire, Scotland. The site comprises the remains of a small chapel together with associated settlement features, reflecting the pattern of ecclesiastical and domestic occupation found in the Scottish Highlands during the medieval period. The chapel structure itself is characteristic of small rural places of worship built during the medieval centuries, though the exact dating and phases of occupation at the site require further archaeological investigation to establish with precision. The settlement remains, situated in close proximity to the castle, suggest a relationship between secular and religious occupation in this part of the Highlands during the medieval era.
