Text Appearing Before Image:
Fig. 1279.— GLENCORSE CHURCH, Midlothian. This church is situated about six or seven miles south from Edinburgh. It enjoys a very romantic site in one of the numerous glens which runup towards the Pentland Hills. As will be seen from the date in the View(Fig. 1280) the building was erected in 1699. It continued in use as the parish church till a few years ago, when a new church having been erected on another site, the old building was abandoned, and is now roofless and fast falling into ruin. It is a long narrow structure, with a south transept, containing the Woodhouselee Loft. The south end of this FOURTH PERIOD 166 GLENCORSE CHURCH transept, shown in the Sketch, is the only part having any architectural value. The traceried wheel window is remarkable and very characteristic
Text Appearing After Image:
Fio. 1280.—Glencorse Church. Woodhouselee Transept. — 167 FOURTH PERIOD of the period, being a variation on the similar type of window found in early churches in Scotland. The sundial seen on the south-west corner is a common feature of the churches of this period. the spirelet shown in the Sketch is comparatively modern and is of timber.
