Princess Margaret of Lincluden Collegiate Church

At Lincluden in Dumfries is the ruined Collegiate Church and the tomb of Princess Margaret. She was daughter of King Robert III, Countess of Douglas and Duchess of Touraine, as well as a relative to half the nobles of Scotland. She would certainly have received a grand funeral, but now the great church is ruined, the noblewoman’s resting place relegated to mere historic curio.

People, ideas and places which now are great and popular shall be esteemed as nothing by generations to come. And that which our planet esteems least, chiefly Christ Jesus and His gospel, will occupy the central place which is rightly His. Writers often talk about being on the right or wrong side of history, when employing hindsight to assess a person's opinions or position. Only the gospel of grace will survive history's final act; it alone shall determine one's prestige or one's shame.

And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt. Daniel 12:2
