[Note] Grave Yard German Text
[Note] From the information in Chalmers Caledonia and in the new Stat. [Statistical] Acct. [Account] It appears that the name St. [Saint] Marys church is not well Known nor does the name appear in the ancient Chart[?]laws as quoted by Chalmers whereas the name Mount Lothian church is well established. The authorities above quoted Concur only in calling it St. [Saint] Mary's church in Conformity with the Old Stat. [Statistical] Acct. [Account] above quoted which is the only authority for Calling it St. [Saint] Mary's church It is therefore written Mount Lothian Church.
[Note] The only vestige now Remaining of this Church is in a Small Plantation east of Mount Lothian Toll Bar, Planted and enclosed by the proprietor Sir George ClerK Bart [Baronet] to Preserve the Remains from further decay: the foundation Can Still be distinctly traced & in Some Places is still Standing 6 or 8 inches high. in other places it is almost obliterated a tombStone is Still Standing on the S. E. [South East] Side of the Ruin which is Supposed to mark the Place of the last internment. Sir George ClerK, Mr Clarkson and other Residents in the immediate locality appear Perfectly Conversant with its history & Situation. and they have pointed out the Site of |

of the Grave Yard as well as the remains of the church. This church was a parish church
the parish being called Mount Lothian. In Chalmers Caledonia vol. [volume] 2, P. [Page] 811 is the following
notice. "The church of old was granted to the monks of Holyrood though by whom
"Cannot now be known. In 1240 Bishop David Confirmed to those monks the church of
"Mount-Lothian which they had for some years enjoyed. It continued to belong to the same
"monks till thy reformation swept away such connections; and the cure was meantime served
"by a vicar. In 1635 the church of Mount Lothian with all its right and reserves were
"transferred to the episcopate of Edinburgh. And this establishment being set aside in 1638
"the parish of Mount-Lothian was afterwards annexed to the adjoining district of Penycuik.
"The ruin of the church may still be seen. The name in the chartulary is Monte Laodonioe
"and in the ancient taxatio there is the ecclesia de Monte Laodonie. A part of the lands of Mount Lothian
"was granted to the monks of Newbattle in the 12th century and this grant was confirmed to them by William
"the lion Chart. Newbattle, 176. And from those circumstances the place has been sometimes called monk-
"Lowden."
In the new Stat. Acct. [Statistical Account] is the following remark. "Mount Lothian (Mons Laodinioe)
"frequently but as appears from the Latin erroneously written Monks Lothian was a chapelry belonging
"to the Abbey of Holyrood whose monks kept their flocks on its rich and extensive
"pasturage." |
