ted between 1870 and
1883.

"The Cathedral," says Dr. Cameron Lees, "restored from end to end,
was opened with a public service on the 23rd May 1883. Her Majesty
the Queen was represented by a Scottish nobleman (the Earl of
Aberdeen), and representatives of all the chief corporations in
Scotland attended. The ceremonial was fitting the occasion, and
three thousand persons filled the immense building. The whole scene
recalled the brilliant pageants of an earlier day. But there was
sadness in the hearts of all present, for three days previous to the
ceremonial Dr. William Chambers had passed away. The words of the
preacher[277] received, and still receive a response from many. 'So
long as these stones remain one upon another, will men remember the
deed which William Chambers hath done, and tell of it to their
children.' Two days after the reopening of the church, the funeral
service of the restorer was conducted within the building his
patriotism had beautified and adorned, and amid a vast and solemn
crowd his body was borne forth from the place he loved so well, and
for which he had done so much, to his burial."[278] "What a strange
story its old gray crown, as it towers high above the city, tells
out day by day to all who have ears to hear. It is the story of
Scotland's poetry, romance, religion--the story of her progress
through cloud and sunshine, the story of her advance from barbarism
to the culture and civilisation of the present day."[279]

_St. Andrews--St. Mary's, or Kirkheugh._--A very old chapel, known as
St. Mary's on the Rock, is said to have stood on the Lady's Craig, but
no trace of it now remains. Another chapel, also dedicated to St. Mary,
stood on the Kirk Heugh, and was known as the Chapel of the King of
Scotland on the Hill. All traces of it were for a long time lost, but in
1860 the foundations were discovered, and they show it to have been a
cruciform structure. It is between the cathedral wall on the north-east
and the sea. It had a provost and ten prebendaries.[280]

_St. Salvator's, St. Andrews._--The College of St. Salvator was founded
and endowed by Bishop Kennedy in 1456 for a provost and prebendaries.
This bishop was distinguished for his liberality to the Church. The
Church of St. Salvator is the only portion of the college buildings
which still survives. It is now attached to the united colleges of St.
