the part, about 30 feet in length, which Grose says was walled off to form a school, probably at the date just mentioned. The monastic buildings were used for various purposes, such as a school and schoolmaster’s house, and for persons suffering from the plague, but from about the beginning of the eighteenth century they gradually became ruinous, and have now reached their present lamentable condition. ST. ANDREW’S CHURCH, PEEBLES. Rather less than a quarter of a mile west from the Cross Church there stands the tower of St. Andrew’s Church. It has been so completely restored or transformed by the late Dr. Chambers, that it is now of no interest whatever as a specimen of the ancient architecture of Scotland. A view of the tower as it appeared at the end of the eighteenth century will be found in the _Antiquities of Scotland_ by Captain Grose; and on the Ordnance Map there is a plan of the church, from which it may be gathered that the tower was a western one, in a similar position to that of the Cross Church. The plan shows a nave measuring about 75 feet long by 40 feet wide, and a choir about 50 feet long, having apparently a building of some kind, either an aisle or chapel, along the north side. The total length of the building was about 140 feet. The Church of St. Andrew at Peebles was consecrated by Bishop Jocelin of Glasgow in 1195.[197] St. Andrew’s was the parish church of Peebles. In 1543 this church was made Collegiate. In 1548 it was burned down by the English, and never rebuilt. Captain Grose says that all the arches of the doors and windows were semicircular. ABERUTHVEN CHURCH, PERTHSHIRE. A ruined church situated near the village of the same name, about two and a half miles east from Auchterarder. The walls are almost entire, except part of the south one, which has been knocked down to give room [Illustration: FIG. 1435.--Aberuthven Church. Plan.] for a mausoleum of the Montrose family, bearing the inscription “John Adam--fecet 1736.” The church (Fig. 1435) measures, externally, 65 feet 2 inches by 21 feet 9 inches. Its only architectural features are a seventeenth century belfry on the west end (Fig. 1436), and two small pointed windows (Fig. 1437) in the east end. The belfry, almost concealed with ivy, has long [Illustration: FIG. 1436.--Aberuthven Church. View from South-West.] narrow openings on the east and west sides, and small side openings. The east windows are between 2 and 3 feet above the floor, and are about 8 inches wide. The daylight of the northmost of these windows (Fig. 1438) is 2 feet 8½ inches high, and for some inexplicable reason that of the south window is about 4 inches less. Both have an ogee arch-head, and are lintelled on the inside. There is an ambry in the north wall near the east end. The usual set-off occurs on the east wall just above the windows. The west end of the church is occupied by a modern burial vault and [Illustration: FIG. 1437.--Aberuthven Church.
