| Chapel of Our Lady in the Cowgate (Continued) | [continued from page 35] This chapel is understood to have been situated at the top of our Lady's Wynd afterwards called Fintry's Wynd and now Sugarhouse Wynd on the south side of the Cowgate. From having been on part of the sites of the buildings erected a number of years ago by Mr William Kirkaldy, the chapel would seem to be on the eastward of the inner wall erected by the French when they fortified the town the wall being understood to have been carried along the west side of the Wynd as the Wynd itself is supposed to have been the bed of the ditch. All that is further known concerning this chapel is a little relative to its revenue the recorded amount of which is only £9.3.4 accruing from fifteen separate tenements in different parts of the town the largest payment being "fourtie twa SS [shillings]" and the smallest "twelff d [pennies]". This paltry sum shows that if the ordinary attenders at the chapel had been deficient in Christian feeling and generosity it is very clear this amount of endowment would not have kept the chaplain long from starving.
