only mediaeval brass left in scotland, to sir alexander irvine of drum and his wife elizabeth de keith, hanging above their effigies in the south transept. the dates are blank, but he died in 1457, unlike english practice, the letters are in relief with the background cut away

effigy of an unknown wife of a provost , c.1430. since this is the biggest collection of mediaeval effigies in scotland, should they not be easier to see, perhaps displaed in the empty transept ?
