ll retains its eastern
wall to the full height of two stories--the upper story being
doubtless the dormitory.

On the south side of the cloister, where the refectory once stood,
there are now only the ruins of the vaulted basement on which it
stood. At the east end of this range there is a doorway from the
cloister giving access to a staircase which led down to the lower
level of the fratery, and the remainder of the south side was
probably all occupied by the refectory. The west wall is almost all
that survives; it is now ivy-clad, and contains a picturesque
circular window, with radiating tracery. Adjoining this wall in the
S.W. angle of the cloister there is an arched recess, apparently
intended for a tomb and monument, but now empty. Over the doorway in
this angle is a large shield, containing the arms of John Stewart,
who was commendator in 1555. On the shield are the initials J.S.,
with the crozier in the centre. He was brother to the Earl of
Lennox, and uncle to Lord Darnley, who married Queen Mary. The arms
are those of the Stewarts of Lennox.

The cloister occupies a space of 93 feet by 91 feet, and was
surrounded by a vaulted walk which has entirely disappeared. It is
evident that the cloister walk was at least partly vaulted, from the
small remains of the springing of the vaults which are visible in
the eastern wall on each side of the doorway to the chapter-house.
The south wall of the nave of the church extends along the north
side of the cloister, and at the N.E. angle is the doorway which led
from the cloister into the nave--a handsome specimen of the
Transition style. The nave of the church is entered through this
handsome doorway by ten steps up from the cloister, and presents a
scene of terrible destruction. The west end wall partly remains,
"and shows by the responds attached to it the form of the nave
piers, with their caps and bases. The position of the piers along
the nave is now roughly indicated by a collection of fragments
arranged as nearly as possible in the original position and form.
The mouldings indicate a late date, and were, doubtless,
restorations; but the responds, which were not so liable to
destruction, are of first pointed date. The responds which form part
of the west wall show that there was a central nave 28 feet wide and
side aisle
