Scope and Content Interior view of Arbuthnott Aisle, Arbuthnott Church, Kincardineshire The oldest part of St Ternan's or Arbuthnott Church is the chancel, dating to the mid-13th century. The Lady Chapel, now the Arbuthnott Aisle, and the bell tower were built by Robert Arbuthnott in 1500. The church was restored in 1896. The aisle, which has an apsidal south end, has a vaulted stone roof with a semi-octagonal dome over the apse. There is a stoup for holy water to the right by the entrance door, and, in the centre a sarcophagus with a recumbent figure on top of it. This two-storeyed aisle was constructed and endowed by the Arbuthnott family as a private chantry chapel and burial vault. It would have been served by a priest whose main duty was to pray for the soul of the founder and his family. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
