Third or Late Pointed Period—Gradual transition from Middle
Pointed Style—Inferior, but peculiarly Scottish—Middle
Pointed buildings large and complete—Large Late Pointed

churches, but often unfinished—Characteristic features—Eastern
three-sided apse and pointed barrel vault, with
stone roof—Groins avoided, and contrivances in lieu thereof—Windows
low—Surface vaulting instead of ribs generally
used, but ribs sometimes applied to surface—Examples—Stone
roofs carefully wrought—Independent invention—Examples
of groined vaults—Decorated barrel vault, and
straight arches at Rosslyn—Forms of buttresses, pinnacles,
windows, tracery, &c.—Influences of Late English and
French Gothic—Doorways, porches, arms, central towers—Monuments—Figure
carving—Sacrament houses and smaller
features well executed, perhaps the work of French artists—Collegiate
churches spread over the whole country—Parish
