small oratory at Kilneuair, on the east side of Loch Awe. Occasionally a narrow ogee-headed one-light window flush with the external wall is to be met with, as at Abruthven, where a couplet is set widely apart in the east wall : and sometimes two feathered ogee-headed lights inclosed in a square or in a segment al-headed aper- ture, as at Queensferry, Carnwath, Dun- glass, and Linlithgow ; — other kinds of w. the square-headed window being also fea- tures in the chancel of St Ninian near Stirli...ng, in the chapel of King's college, Aberdeen, and in the tower of St Mary's cathedral, Iona. Circular or wheel win- dows are not uncommon, though generally of small size and not of much appearance. Specimens occur in the east and west gables of the cathedral at Dunkeld ; in the north transept of Melrose abbey ; the west front of the abbey at Dunfermline ; in the towers at Linlithgow and Culross, in which it is placed over the belfry windows ; and in the south belfry story of the tower at Iona, where the circle is inclosed in a square, and filled with twelve of those semi-convoluted feathered loops before spoken of as forming a fundamental feature in the flowing tracery of Scotch windows, lying, as it were, heads-and-tails round a hexagonal aperture.* Windows in the style of the English Third-Pointed period are not often to be met with.
