Text Appearing Before Image:
blishedthemselves in a sort of joint possession of the priorship and other lucrative officesof the house, while James proposed to annex the revenues to his new royal chapelof Stirling, where he desired to keep up a choir of vocal and instrumental musicians.The civil conflict thus commenced, and its disastrous consequences in the defeatand murder of the King are well known. In 1554, the English invaders under Hertford occupied the abbey as afortification, from which all the efforts of the Regents army could not dislodge them.It was left in so dilapidated a state that the English were supposed to have set iton fire when they abandoned it.

The tower, ninety feet high, though in a tottering condition and quite unfitfor further warlike uses, stood for upwards of a century afterwards. The author ofthe Statistical Accouni, writing in 1834, says, It continued in a very precariousstate, till it fell about sixty years ago, and not a stone of it now remains. Grose,writing in 1789, and referring apparently to the same tower, says, Some yearsago, in taking down a tower at the south-west corner of the building, a skeletonof a woman was found, who, from several circumstances, appeared to have beenimmured. She had her shoes on, which were long preserved in the custody ofthe minister. 84 THE BARONIAL AND ECCLESIASTICAL Corstorphine Church
