It is now a substantial looking building and likely to stand for years to come. There are several Crusaders' Tombs & Monuments to be seen in the interior of the Church.

Transcriber's notes

Parish of Harris County of Inverness
St. Clements Church is more distinctively an antiquity than a modern place of worship, being only occassionally used for the latter purpose. It is not a [Quord Sacia] parish Church. I think it was formerly a Cathedral Church and is still an object to Antiquaries.
