Not far from the site of this, a small vaulted chamber, supposed to have been a sleeping cell, now affords accommodation to the boiler of a Steam engine employed at the foundry. Some arches, apparently parts of similar cells, yet exist behind the inn called the Royal Oak: and persons above till a late period remembered of there having been a continuous line of such cells between the two points now indistinct. This range of cells seems to have terminated the building of the monastery to the east, unless that an hospital, of which there is a tradition as existing about the site of the present bede house, may have formed one of its appurtenances The yards or garden ground of the monastery with its chapel and other dependencies, are supposed to have extended beyond the present southern limits of the town and as far as the small remnants of the "Lodging of the Earl of Airly in Duff House Kitchen garden"

"A few old persons can yet remember some large massy Ruins, standing on the space now occupied by the plainstones, called the Towers. These have probably been originally a part of the monastery, but are Known to have been latterly a residence of the Lords of Banff. In some old rights this building is styled a palace a distinction it is supposed to have acquired in consequence of having been the temporary abode of certain of the Scottish Kings who disappears from date of some old charters, had visited the town This building was demolished by General Monro in August 1640 as is thus related in the History of the Gordons vol.
