White- kirk, dedicated to Our Lady of Fairknowe with its Holy Well, belonged to the Abbey of Holyrood. The traditions of the church and the reputation of the Well (for which search has often been made in vain) drew many pilgrims to the spot, the most notable being ^neas Sylvius Piccolomini, after- wards Pope Pius II., who, in 1435, walked barefoot from Dunbar. The monks' Tithing-barn still remains in a field close by. Whitekirk Church was destroyed by fire (the work of suffragettes), 26th Feb. 1914.] ALEXANDER FORRESTER 1567 [FORREST], reader.
