Scope and Content Detail of carved panel bearing the coat of arms of Alexander Cunningham of Kingsbarns, St Mary's Parish Church, Marketgate, Crail, Fife Crail was created a royal burgh in 1310. St Mary's, a large aisled medieval church, has 12th-century origins, but dates mainly from when it became a collegiate church in 1517, with alterations in 1815, 1828 and 1963. This is one of a number of carved oak panels within the church. Dated 1605, it bears the motto 'SALVS PER CHRISTVM' above a shield flanked by the initials 'AC' for Alexander Cunningham, who was a baillie of Crail. Collegiate churches were endowed for the support of priests whose principal duty was to say masses for the souls of the founders and their families. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
