[Continued] | "The Church of St Mary of Rothesay, supposed to have been built in the 13th century & after the Reformation used as the Catherdral Church of the Isles, stood about a mile south of the burgh of Rothesay. The Choir still standing is 26 ft. [feet] 10 ins [inches] in length by 17ft [feet] 1 in [inch] in breadth within the walls. & the Nave remained in 1692 was 81 ft [feet] by 22. In 1692 a church was built immediately on the north of the nave & in 1695 it was taken down, and another, the present parish church, built in its stead." - Originies Parochiales. "The Ancient Church of Rothesay was dedicated to the Virgin Mary: & was originally a Chapel subordinate to Kingarth professed for a short time by the monks of Paisley. At the close of 13th Century, it appears on record as an independant parsonage & afterwards became one of the Cathedral Churches of the Diocese of the Isles & was the only one during the period of Protestant Episcopacy. In 1575 its temporalities were given by James VI to the collegiate Ch; [Church] of Restaing near Leith; & at the Reformation, they were transferred to the Chapel Royal of Stirling. In 1617, the parson of Rothesay was by Act of Parliament, made subdean of the Isles. - and in 1639 it was annexed to the Presbytery of Dunoon" - Fullarton's Gazetteer. |
