Excerpt from Melrose Abbey: Notes Descriptive and Historical

From the west entrance to the abbey until the rood screen is reached, little of the original structure remains, excepting the side chapels, which formed the outer portion of the south aisle. The first three of these chapels have been roofless for generations, and the separating walls have entirely disappeared. The roofs over the fourth and fifth are still entire.

What remains of the rood screen, crosses the nave on a line with the division of the fifth and sixth chapels, and from thence to the transept the church is roofed quite over from north to south. The aisles, north and south, are covered by the original groined roof. The roof over the nave and the unsightly counter-fort on the north side, reaching to and sup porting the roof, date from 1618, when that part of the ruin was fitted up as the Parish Church. It con tinned to be used as such until 1810.
