| Site of ST. NINIAN'S CHAPEL | (Site of) St. Ninian's Chapel | R. C. Carrington Esqr. Revd. [Reverend] John Wilson Revd. [Reverend] Daniel McBride |
The site of an an ancient chapel in the town of Dunkeld which was dedicated to St. Ninian. "About 1420, Bishop Cardney built and dedicated a chapel to St. Ninian. It stood upon the ground now occupied by the present buildings in the city of Dunkeld called Atholl Street. It is recorded, that the bishop bought the lands of Mucklarie, and out of the rents he endowed the chaplain. By virtue of a grant, the dues payable to the chaplain have now been conferred on the rector of the Royal School of DunKeld. The bishop died 16th. January 1436, and was honourably buried under a stone monument within the walls of the chapel. *** In the south aisle of the cathedral is the monument of Bishop Cardney, lying in a recess of the wall, under a canopy adorned with crockets. The figure of the bishop is represented in pontificalibus, wearing his mitre. The inscription on the stone-plate is very much defaced. It runs thus: "Hic jacet Dns. [Dominus] Robertus de Cardony, Eppis. [Episcopus] Dunkeldenni qui." - Three words are here defaced, and the inscription on the plate to the back is partly broken off. What remains is ad incarnationem Dne [Domine] M.CCCC.XX. This monument was brought from St. Ninian's chapel, and placed in the cathedral subsequent to 1464." New Stat [Statisical] Account |
