| St Palladius' Chapel &c. contd [continued] | [Continued from page 132] "The old Barons of Glenfarquhar and Monboddo buried underneath this Chapel, which is now used as a female School, and at the entrance door Stands a Sculptured Stone carved upon one side. It is the only example of those singular Monuments which is known in the Mearns, if we except the fragments found in the neighbourhood of Stonehaven now preserved at Banchory House. The Fordoun Stone is said to have been raised to commemorate the death of King Kenneth III, who according to tradition was killed in that neighbourhood, through the Stratagem of Finella, wife of the Thane of the Mearns. Within the Chapel of St Palladius, (which is a small building in the grave yard.) the bones of that Saint are said to have been deposited in a niche in the East end of the building. The niche is now built up, and Surrounded by a plain moulding. There is also a curious piscina within the Chapel, it is of rude masonry cut out of a single stone, which measures 2 feet by 18 inches, the arch is 18 inches high and 11 inches broad. It is locally believed that this Chapel at the time of the reputed death of St Palladius in A.D. 452, and keeping this in mind some think that the Gothic arch of the Piscina is one of the earliest known examples of the kind existing in Scotland, ideas however for which there appear no good grounds."
