| Description | Inscription from a tomb in Lincluden Collegiate Church. This sketch shows the simple outline of a monument located in Lincluden Collegiate Church, near Dumfries. The artist has transcribed the inscription that appears on the tomb and has provided useful notes: 'Lincluden 5 July 1807. At the East end, on the right of the great window, is an angel with an inscription, but the little that remains of it is not now legible. Prof. Stuart thinks the letters at the top are probably contractions for [...]'.. '. The words indicate that the tomb is that of Margaret, wife of Archibald, 4th Earl of Douglas, and daughter of King Robert III. Her husband, Archibald may have added the chancel, in which Margaret's tomb is located. Archibald the Grim, 3rd Earl of Douglas, Margaret's father-in-law, founded the Church in 1389. He chose to build it on a site previously occupied by a Benedictine nunnery. |
