Description Engraving of Manual Priory from SW. Titled 'Manuel Priory. Plate I. Situated upon the north bank of the river Avon, in the shire of Stirling, about a mile above the bridge of Linlithgow. This priory was founded by King Malcolm IV in the year 1156, for nuns of the Cistertian order, and consecrated to the Virgin Mary. Anno 1291, Christiana, Prioress of this house, swore fealty to Edward I at Linlithgow. In the year 1296, Alice, Prioress, also swore fealty to Edward I. Considerable grants were made to Emanuel by William the LIon, as also by Alexander II. Great part of the chapel remained till within these two years, when a flood in the river carried off the whole building except the west gabel, of which the above is a View, and which now hangs tottering over a deep pool, which the water has formed where the body of the church stood. This View is from the S. W. taken 1789.' [Adam de Cardonnell, "Picturesque Antiquities of Scotland."]
