Mrs. Hyde James Leitch Archibald Mains New Stat Acct. [Statistical Account] |
184 | An angle of a strongly built wall now about 7 feet high said to have been the residence of three Bishops, & subsequently to have formed part of the old Manse. Three stones are pointed out in the Churchyard believed to cover the remains of three Bishops. One of the stones bears a date 1626. "The remains of a house are pointed out to which the name has been assigned of the 'Bishop's palace'. There is however nought belonging to such an establishment pointed out in history as having existed in Dunoon, & most probably the residence so denominated might be a dwelling house, assigned by the Argyle family after the Reformation, to individuals of that order." New Stat Acct. [Statistical Account] |
