In the south aisle of the transept which is termed Bishop Dunbar's Aisle, there is an ornamental arch, part of his tomb in which his effigy in Marble lay in a recumbent posture, but at the reformation it was broken and the tomb defaced his body lies in the Vault below. In the North Aisle of the transept which is termed St John's Aisle are the remains of Bishop Lychtoun's tomb, altho it also suffered at the reformation, there is still to be seen an effigy of the Bishop "in Pontificalibus" at full length. There were several other Bishops interred within those two aisles but they have only common gravestones. After the Revolution, and the abolition of episcopacy in Scotland the Principal and Proffessors of King's College exercised their right of presenting Ministers to this Church. about a Century and a half ago it became a Collegiate Charge. Since that time two Clergymen who draw their Stipend from the tythes of the Parish, have officiated as Ministers. The patronage of the Church being, in Modern times, of little importance to the College, was sold to the Earl of Fife who presents both Ministers. The Church is surrounded by a burial ground very much crowded with graves, the main entrance to it is from the south west corner the gate being betwixt two very neat lodges. |
