GOGAR CHURCH FONT, MID-LOTHIAN.

Scarcely a vestige remains of the old Church of Gogar, but the burial

ground still survives. It is situated about five to six miles west from

Edinburgh. The church was ancient, but after the Reformation the parish

was divided amongst the three adjoining ones. The bowl of the old font

still exists in the churchyard. It is very simple in design (Fig. 736),

and would appear from its mouldings to be of first pointed date. The

stand on which it is set is modern.
