The heraldry on the walls of the Church also sufticiently attests 
the connection with it of the Douglas family. 
The new building, although it would probably be the design of 
its founder ultimately to extend it so as to embrace the re-build- 
ing of the whole Church, had stopped short of completion, and a 
part of the older erection, the remains of which have been 
described, continued to exist until the time when the establish- 
ment was finally dismantled. 
The remains of the Collegiate Church embrace the Chancel, 
the South Transept or Transeptal Chapel, the South Aisle, and 
the Sacristy ; and two vaulted chambers north of the Sacristy 
also belonged to this period. 
This Church, like that of the Abbey which preceded it on the 
same site, is of small extent, but it stands out unsurpassed by 
any of its class for the boldness, richness, elegance, and purity of 
its architecture. 
Externally the noticeable features of the building are—the far 
projecting buttresses, rising to the height of the side walls un- 
broken by any intake ; the large double base table, extending 
round the bottom of the walls ; the cornice, decorated with richly 
carved foliage, on the top of the south wall of the Chancel ; the 
well-proportioned pointed windows, enclosed in peculiar and very 
bold mouldings, hooded, and originally divided by many mullions 
and rich geometrical tracery, inclining to leaf and flame forms, 
of which little now remains. 
The buttresses are of uniform design, and placed at right angles 
to the walls, except at the Transept, where they project diagon- 
ally from the corners. 
The windows exhibit uniformity in some of their parts, and in 
others much variety. The lights in all cases stand in the centre 
of the wall, the jamb mouldings are continued on the arches, and 
their internal and external orders are respectively alike, as are 
also those of the mullions and tracery, except in the case of the 
east window of the Side Chapel, where they are dissimilar. The 
principal mouldings of the Chancel windows and of those of the 
Aisle are similar, but whereas the mullions and tracery in the 
Aisle have hollow chamfers only, those in the Chancel have edge 
rolls in addition, with bases and caps to the mullions. The two 
windows of the Side Chapel differ from all the others as regards 
their mouldings, and also from one another. The tracery of the 
two westimost windows in the south wall of the Chancel corre-
