021.13 | An aisle attached to the church on the south east side, which is the burying ground of the Arbuthnott family. "This aisle was rebuilt by Sir Robert Arbuthnott of that Ilk, in 1505, of finely hewn ashlar. The entrance is on the west side by an arched door. On the south side are four buttresses of carved stone work, but the ravages of the weather have greatly injured the beauty of the workmanship, particularly on the south west part of the building. The lower part, which is arched was originally dedicated as a chapel to the Virgin Mary: and the upper, which is accessible by a narrow winding stair in a round tower on the north west corner, was intended to be a sleeping chamber for the priest who officiated at her altar.
