There is some debate as to which church this refers to but it seems very likely to be "The Ancient Church and Tower of St. Mary," and it would appear that the transept was, as it now is, used as one place of worship, and called the Cross Church; for a Council minute of 1582 orders collections "for bigging the Croce Kirk." It had apparently remained till that time in the ruinous state to which it is said to have been reduced by Edward I.
