Scope and Content Detail of canopy and corbel on buttress of Arbuthnot Aisle, Arbuthnott Church, Kincardineshire The oldest part of St Ternan's or Arbuthnott Church is the chancel which dates 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. This canopy and corbel on the Arbuthnott Aisle are an example of late Gothic carving. The corbel is decorated with the Arma Christi or five wounds of Christ. Originally, statues of saints stood on the corbels and in the niches on other buttresses. The aisle was constructed and endowed by the Arbuthnott family (local landowners) 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.
