| [St Palladius' Chapel continued] | [continued from page 131] "appear to have been then Scattered about, and had them put into a new Shrine made of Silver or, according to Butler he had the old Shrine enriched with 'gold and precious stones'. Palladius' relics however soon lost their virtue for the Reformation followed within fifty years, and Wishart of Pitarrow, the Selfish and Sacrilegious Comptroller of James V, is said to have enriched his own Coffers by Seizing the holy Casket, and Scattering its still more revered Contents to the Winds, from which time says an old writer the family never prospered. The older part of the edifice in the church yard known as St Palladius' Chapel was perhaps built by Archbishop Shevez but its architectural peculiarities are so few that the age cannot be ascertained. The East gable is obviously the oldest portion, it is ornamented by a small mutilated piscina terminated in a rude pointed Arch, hewn out of a single stone, and there also within an arch now built up, the ashes of Palladius are said to have reposed. - The old families of Halkerton and Monboddo bury in a vault beneath this Chapel, to one of the latter of whom there is a monument, with a quaint Latin inscription, and there also stands the Curiously Sculptured Stone, which local story associates with the murder of King Kenneth" - (Memorials of Angus & Mearns) |
