were deposited here by permission of their uncle, Sir William
Drummond, then Dean of Dunblane. Three blue slabs covered and marked
their resting-place. The recumbent figure attired in pontifical
vestments and mitre, and which is in a niche of the wall under a window
of the choir, on the right of the pulpit, is supposed to represent
Bishop Finlay Dermock, and to be his sepulchral monument. The other
recumbent figure under one of the windows of the nave represents Bishop
Michael Ochiltree, who greatly added to the rich adornments of the
cathedral."
