Parish of Canongate

and height of 14 it has two arched doorways and two windows on each side of the Same form with a
handsome Gothic roof of three compartments, In the Southern wall near the altar is a Small arched
niche wherein was put the holy water and another opposite of larger dimensions which was Strongly fortified
for Keeping the pix with the Consecrated bread. Beside by the door and arch on the inside I imagine
there must have been an entry rom the west and the room over the said arch I taKe to have been the
vestiary ascended to by a ladder and a few Steps above the said arch; and without in the wall at the
eastern end was a handsome stonern seat. This chapel appears to have been enclosed with a stonern wall
extending from the western precipice of the hill long the southern Side and eastern end to the northern
precipice of the said hill
