South Leith Church used as a mortuary
Receavit from Johne Gilstone English man for to have the corpse of Mr . . . . Mair of Hull laid within the bodie of our church £060 : 00 : 00.
(Note.—There are numerous examples of the church being utilised as a mortuary. In this case, probably the Mayor of Hull had died in Scotland and his body lay in the church until his friends came to
remove it.)
