Date 1693

Copies SC 2581594
Scope and Content Originally published in Teatrum Scotiae, 1693. This engraving shows a view of the south elevation of the chapel with figures in the foreground. An inscription to the top left of the plate reads ‘This plate is most humbly inscrib’d to ye hon’ble George Baillie of Jerveswood Esq’r one of ye Lords Commissioners of ye Treasury’. The engraving depicts statues within the carved niches of the square sectioned buttresses; however, it is unlikely that the niches ever held statues, and their inclusion is almost certainly an addition by the artist.
