hapel, his prayer to "sweet St.
John" is most appropriate. Mr. Chalmers also points out that the
chapels at the east end of Glasgow Cathedral are dedicated to the
same saints and in the same order as those in the east aisle of the
transept at Melrose.[477]

Immediately beneath the site of the high altar at Melrose is the
resting-place of the heart of Robert Bruce, and to the south of it
is a dark-coloured polished slab of encrinital limestone said to
mark the grave of Alexander II., who was buried near the high altar
in 1249. Others maintain, however, that it marks the burial-place of
St. Waltheof or Waldeve, who was the second abbot of the monastery
founded by King David, and that it is the slab placed here by
Ingram, Bishop of Glasgow (1164-1174).

The chancel was also the burial-place of the Douglases. The Douglas
tombs were all defaced by Sir Ralph Evers in 1544. At the northern
end of the north transept a small doorway leads into the sacristy,
in which is the tombstone of Johanna, Queen of Alexander II., with
the inscription "Hic jacet Johanna d. Ross." Melrose is the
Kennaquhair of the _Abbot_ and the _Monastery_.

CHAPTER VII

GENERAL SURVEY OF SCOTTISH MEDIAEVAL ARCHITECTURE

Mediaeval architecture of Scotland arranged according to the periods
stated in Chapter II.:[478]--

_Transition from Celtic to Norman Architecture_:--_Abernethy Round
Tower_, Perthshire (p. 7). _Restennet Priory_, Forfarshire (p. 7). _St.
Regulus, St. Andrews_, Fifeshire (p. 18).

_Norman Architecture_:--_Markinch Tower_ (Fifeshire). Present church
modern, early church consecrated 1243; the tower is an ancient Norman
building. _Muthill Church_ (Perthshire), has Norman tower at the west
end, with nave having north and south aisles and an aisleless choir. The
church is now in ruins, and was built by Michael Ochiltree, who was Dean
of Dunblane (1425) and Bishop (1430). _St. Serf's, Dunning_
(Perthshire), has Norman tower, with elaborately carved and pointed
archway opening from the tower into the church, which has been greatly
altered. The W. gable wall of the church and part of the N. and E. wall
are original. There appears to have been a chancel; the ancient corbels
at N. parapet survive, and the raggle of the original roof is seen
against the E. side of the tower. Church mentioned here in 1219
(ecclesia sancti servani de Dunnyne). _Cruggleton Church_
(W
