Description
This is a 15th-century burial aisle, with alterations made in the 17th century and later. It is likely the transept of a former church and stands near the village of Kirkwynd, Glamis. Constructed of red sandstone ashlar with dressed margins and quoins, the aisle has a flat-roofed ashlar bay to the east. A part of the base is raised and battered, with stepped blocking courses to a crenellated flat-roofed bay. Segmental and Tudor-arched openings are present, along with an embrasured, traceried window on the south side, and a roll-moulded and chamfered doorway. The windows feature voussoirs and stone mullions.
The south elevation displays a single-gabled bay to the left, featuring a broad doorway with a two-leaf timber door and an escutcheon inscribed with what appears to be the date 1742. Above the doorway is a three-light traceried window, and a sundial dated 1771 is positioned on a carved corbel in the gablehead, which is finialled with a stone lion and shield on a square plinth. A crenellated bay sits to the right, featuring a blinded Tudor-arched window and flanking pilasters.
On the west elevation, a canopied black marble mural tablet with Corinthian columns, carved spandrels, and a decorative cornice is located to the right of centre. A pedimented stone is set to the right, and a plain round-headed red marble tablet appears to the outer right. A church dated 1793 adjoins the burial aisle at the northwest angle.
The north elevation has a small, piended link to the right with a segmental-headed window, and the gablehead finial depicts a griffon displaying a shield with a rampant lion.
The east elevation features an advanced, flat-roofed bay to the left, showcasing a four-light Tudor-arched window and pilastered angles, each with a blank, eroded shield.
The roof is covered with grey slate, with ashlar-coped skewes and flat skewputts.
Inside, a sacrament house is present with an ogee-arched aumbry. The flanking shields display the lion of Glamis on the left and the lion of Glamis and Ogilvy impaled on the right. The stone groin-vaulted roof features bosses, corbels, and keystones carved with coronets, lions of Glamis, and lions of Glamis and Ogilvy, along with grapes in bold relief. An altar-shaped tomb commemorates Patrick Lyon, the first Lord Glamis, who died in 1459, and his wife, Isabella Ogilvy, daughter of Ogilvy of Auchterhouse, who was interred beside him in 1484. A short, octagonal pillar with a decorative capital is also present. A stone stair leads down to the burial vault of the Lyon family beneath a stone pavement.
