THE

CASTELLATED AND DOMESTIC ARCHITECTURE OF SCOTLAND

FROM THE TWELFTH TO THE EIGHTEENTH CENTURY

BY DAVID MACGIBBON AND THOMAS ROSS ARCHITECTS

“One of the most important and complete books on Scottish architecture that has ever been compiled. Its value to the architect, the archæologist, and the student of styles is at once apparent. It consists almost exclusively of what may be called illustrated architectural facts, well digested and arranged, and constituting a monument of patient research, capable draughtsmanship, and of well-sustained effort, which do the authors infinite credit.”--_Scotsman._

[10] Reeves’ _Adamnan_, p. 177.--Dr. Reeves quotes many instances of churches formed with wattles. Thus, the first church erected in Britain, at Ynswitrin, had the walls of the chapel constructed of twisted twigs; St. Gwynllyw, _circa_ 580, founded a temple constructed with boards and twigs. In Ireland, when St. Kieran was preparing to build his church, a friendly wild boar is said to have appeared and cut off twigs and ploughed up turf with his tusks so as to furnish the Saint with materials. St. Kevin constructed his oratory with wattles. At Raithin, St. Carthacus built himself a cell with reeds which Columba had provided. St. Voloc also built his abode with reeds and twigs.

[11] This name belonged to the Irish till about the tenth century, when it was transferred to the inhabitants of the existing Scotland.

[149] From a drawing in the possession of Mr. David Douglas, publisher.

[150] The sketch is a very slight and hurried one, and is not at all finished in detail; but it is enough, when taken with the other drawings, to enable a fair idea to be formed of the completed church. The tower has had a clock dial, placed so as to conceal the south windows. The traceried windows of the south aisle of the nave are indicated, along with the lintelled doorway and a raised window, which may have been over an outside stair in connection with a gallery. The east window of the aisle is shown built up, with a square shuttered window inserted where the mullions formerly were, and the small window above has been enlarged for light to the gallery. The view of the chancel is particularly interesting, this part of the church having now almost disappeared. In the choir a mullioned window of three lights is shown above the sedilia, and a small door is knocked through the latter. The east end is shown lighted by three simple lancet windows.

[151] We are greatly indebted to the Rev. Mr. Thomson, Dunning, for assistance in regard to this church.
