Origines Parochiales
204.06 "The church of St Mary of Rothesay, the walls of the choir of which yet remains close to the present parish church, was probably built in 1296, the windows being of the form then in use. It was one of the Cathedral churches of the Isles during the times of Popery and was the sole Cathedral of that see during the times of Protestant Episcopacy. The area of the choir & nave were used for interment by the principal heritors. The nave was taken down in 1692, when a new church on the present site was erected out of the ruins. This church also was taken down in 1795, and the present church then erected." New Stat [Statistical] Account See next page
