the domestic architecture of the seventeenth century. There is a strong
dash of Renaissance taste in the design; but the cornice with its small
corbels, and the string course with its moulded supports, might be
details from any old Scottish castle. The bell bears the date 1557. A
curious relic of the older structure has, however, been discovered in
the choir in the form of an antique wall-painting of St. Ninian.
