Hi Bill, I have taken some images of Seton Collegiate Church, East Lothian. You can help yourself at http://renata.org.uk/gallery/main.php in Album East Lothian 6. They're all public domain. Renata (talk) 10:26, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
Collegiate churches in Scotland, prœpositurœ or provostories, were a distinctive progression within the mediæval church in Scotland. Although not a bishop's seat, a collegiate church followed the cathedral in having a chapter of prebendary canons. Most provostories were previously parish churches which held a small number of properties while others were simply chapels with no such possessions.[1] Most collegiate churches were established in the 15th century but the earliest was St Mary on the Rock in St Andrews (1248 x 1249) and the latest just a few years before the Reformation was Biggar (1545). These churches are not to be confused with the post-reformation collegiate (so-called) churches which had two ministers.
