<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 9pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-size: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial;">The tower was started by Bishop Lauder (1452-75) and finished by Bishop Livingston (1475-83). The lowest storey was used as an ecclesiastical court house. Its walls have paintings of the Judgement of Solomon and of the Woman taken in Adultery. Within it are a number of early and medieval carved stones. Marvellous views from the top of the tower.</span></p>
