On the east wall are two shields, the charges of the south one 
are obliterated; the north one bears three mullets impaling 
the first within a border fleury, probably for Murray and 
Douglas. There is on Bothwell Church, of which Archibald 
Douglas the Grim was founder, a shield bearing similar charges, 
but in the reverse order. 
The remaining six shields are on the south wall, and, proceed- 
ing westwards, the emblazonments are—A man’s heart, on a chief 
three mullets, impaling a lion rampant ; on a field ermine a man’s 
heart, on a chief three mullets ; quarterly, first and fourth, a 
man’s heart, crowned, on a chief three mullets ; second and third, 
a lion rampant, crowned ; within a border, quarterly, first and 
fourth a man’s heart, on a chief three mullets; second and third a 
bend between six cross crosslets fitched, said to be the arms of 
the hero of Otterburn ; on a bend, three mascles, and in the 
sinister canton a buckle. Round the shield is a scroll, inscribed 
Loyal Dei . . . Halyburton . . . and under it appears 
the initials J. H. The sixth shield bears a lion rampant. 
On the Chancel walls outside are seven shields, three on the 
south wall, bearing respectively a bend engrailed, three urchins, 
a saltire between four mullets ; two on the east wall, one within a 
wreath of beautifully cut holly leaves, bearing a saltire, the other 
bearing a fess chequy debruised by a bend engrailed ; and two 
on the north wall, both uncut. 
TOMBS. 
The Tomb of Margaret, Countess of Douglas, has been so often 
and well illustrated and described that it is unnecessary here to 
notice its design ; but in reference to its date, the constructive 
arrangement of the masonry appears to favour the conclusion 
that the tomb formed part of the original design, and was carried 
up along with the wall of the Chancel. 
An interesting tombstone has been recovered from the debris. 
It is of red sandstone, measuring 8 feet by 4 feet, and lies in the 
south-west corner of the side Chapel, marking the grave of Alex- 
ander Cairns, the second Provost of Lincluden, who was also 
Chancellor to Archibald, 4th Earl of Douglas. An inscribed 
border extends round the four sides, and in the centre is a repre- 
sentation of a tree, surmounted by a shield bearing a fess, and 
an inscribed scroll, all incised. The stone is broken into three 
pieces, and the inscribed border is mostly obliterated. What
