Scope and Content St Mary's Collegiate Church, Cullen, Banffshire Already a parish church, St Mary's became collegiate in 1543. Collegiate churches had benefactors, in this case Sir Alexander Ogilvie, who supported priests whose principal duty was to say masses for the souls of the founders and their families. In this view of the church, which is cruciform on plan, the nave can be seen on the left and the south transept on the right. Between them are steps leading to the west gallery. The west gable is surmounted with a square belfry. The nave and west part of the chancel survive from the original rectangular parish church. The south transept, added in 1536, was endowed by Elena Hay. In 1543 the chancel was lengthened and the north transept was added in 1792. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
