Scope and Content St Mary's Collegiate Church, Cullen, Banffshire 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. This view shows the laird's loft on the south (right) side of the chancel. Dated 1602 and made for the Ogilvie family, it is a raised canopied gallery complete with armorial panels. Below it are four little square enclosed pews known as 'pumfils'. Sir Alexander Ogilvie was the major founder of the collegiate church in 1543 and the laird's loft shows the continuing influence of the family after the Reformation. The other three lofts are known as the Gardeners, the Fishermens and the Believers lofts. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
