Blackfriars Church, at Perth. The monument dates from about 1394. It contains a massive figure of the "Wolf" in complete armour, with his feet resting on a lion. On the sarcophagus are carved a number of figures in armour, in different attitudes.[1] There is a mutilated headless figure, supposed to represent Bishop Sinclair, lying beside the "Wolf of Badenoch's" monument; and other memorials of him are the engrailed crosses on the east and west gables.

No. 1 was probably distinguished in the same way, there being something visible on the sinister side. No. 3 has, on dexter side, a shield with a lion rampant; on sinister side, a square with initials only,
