There are no visible remains of the Bishop's Palace which is on record in the early 15th century; described as 'a rambling structure in the highland fashion', it is said to have stood to the SW of the Cathedral. Slezer, however, depicts a tower to the W of the Cathedral, probably that built by Bishop Robert de Cardeny (1398-1436) who is also credited with having built 'a hall with larder and granaries underneath'; these may have been within the tower, or could have been separate. Bishop George Brown (1483-1514) added a wing on the W and an oratory.
