1593: Elphinstone aisle built by Alexander Elphinstone. It lies just west of the Airth Aisle, separated from the nave by a semicircular arch of two orders, the inner one being chamfered. The aisle contains several fine tombstones, the earliest of which is dated 1593, which appears to be the date when the aisle was built. The gable is crow-stepped and has cavetto-moulded skewputs. The side walls are finished with a moulded eaves-course of similar section, and at the base there is a splayed plinth similar to that on the Airth Aisle. Centrally placed in the gable wall is a plain square-headed window with rounded arises, which has been contracted on its east side by the insertion of a chamfered jamb. The lintelled doorway, at the south-west corner, also has rounded arrises. An armorial panel set in the gable above the window is now virtually illegible through weathering, but a drawing published in 1896 shows it to have been parted per pale and charged for Elphinstone and Livingstone: Dexter, a chevron between three boars’ heads erased; sinister, quarterly, 1st and 4th, three gillyflowers, 2nd and 3rd a bend between six billets. It is flanked by the initials M/AE for Master Alexander Elphinstone, who became the fourth Lord Elphinstone in 1602, and IL/ME for his wife Jane Livingstone, Mistress Elphinstone, daughter of William sixth Lord Livingstone. The date 1593, which appears below the shield, is presumably the building-date of the aisle.
