late work in Scotland, but none of the other examples possess the size
and elegance of this one. The delicate detail of its slightly arched
transome is noteworthy. The buttresses (see Fig. 1297) also are of a
good form; indeed, it is remarkable, considering its lateness, how pure
and simple the details are.
In the process of extending the college, it was contemplated to
demolish this church, but fortunately, we believe, that intention has
been abandoned.
