The upper little oriel windows, curved outward ina circle, are another example of this local peculiarity above referred to.DufFus Manse was originally built by John de Spalding, canon of Duffus,and formed the quarters of Edward i. in 1303. James ii. also residedhere in 1455, but the recent building was evidently of subsequent erection.</i> <b>Text Appearing After Image:</b> <i>Fig. ]209.—Elgin. Bishops House. (Copied from a Sketch by J. C. Nattcs.) In the preceding Vol. ii. p. 58, an account is given of the BishopsHouse, which was one of the manses situated within the Cathedral Close.In supplement to the description already given, we now reproduce (by per-mission of Mr. Douglas) an unpublished Sketch by Nattes, (Fig. 1209)of the Bishops House from the north-west, showing the gateway to thecourtyard and other features not formerly illustrated, and now obliterated.Fig. 1210 is a View of the picturesque staircase turret of that house asseen from the north-west. A remarkable shield (Fig. 1211) is now pre-served beside this building. It has given rise to much local discussion, butlittle has been determined with regard to its origin or the signification ofthe curious crest of the helmet. From Nattes Sketch (see Fig. 1209) it isapparent that this stone was in his time built into the outer wall of the FOURTH PERIOD — 92 HOUSES IN ELGIN</i> <b>Note About Images</b> <i>Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original work.</i>
