In the interior of the church is preserved, and is still used, a very fine font (Fig. 940), which was found lying in pieces in the ground under the tower and in the churchyard, but the pieces have now been put together again. The bowl is hexagonal in outline, 3 feet 2 inches across, the orifice being 2 feet in diameter. Each face is ornamented with a large shield, supported by an angel, and on each angle is a large roll, supported on a head and embattled on top. The lower part consists of five short filleted shafts, with angular projections between them. The shafts rest on bold projecting bases, standing on an octagonal plinth, and have a series of enriched caps (sadly damaged) running round the font, which support the mouldings under the basin. [Illustration: FIG. 941.--Inverkeithing Church. Font.] [Illustration: FIG. 942.--Inverkeithing Church. Arms on Font.] The arms on the six shields on the faces of the font are as follow (the arms being, probably, those of the families named, but there is nothing to show their connection with the font):-- 1. Quarterly 1st and 4th, three bay leaves, for Foulis of Colinton; 2nd and 3rd, saltier and chief, wavy (Fig. 941). Bruce of Balcaskie. 2. A fesse chequé between three crescents (see Fig. 940).

On the sinister side, bars wavy, for Drummond. 5. Lion rampant within a double tressure (Fig. 942). Lyon of Glamis. 6. An eagle displayed, surmounted by a bend with three crescents (see Fig. 942). Ramsay of Dunoun. MONUMENT AT ABERDALGIE, PERTHSHIRE. An incised monument (Fig. 943) in the churchyard of Aberdalgie, which is situated from three to four miles south-west of Perth, commemorates Sir William Olifurd or Oliphant of Aberdalgie, for ever memorable as the defender of Stirling Castle against the force of Edward I. in 1304. Edward conducted the siege in person, and for upwards of three months a small garrison of men withstood his utmost [Illustration: FIG. 943.--Monument at Aberdalgie to Sir W. Olifurd.]
