Activities

Field Visit (8 April 1929)

Inscribed Pediments.

Three inscribed pediments evidently belonging to an earlier school-building had been inserted into the wall of the old High School of Dunfermline. When this was pulled down in 1902, they were transferred to the Post Office which took its place, and they are now to be seen in the wall facing Queen Anne Kirk. One shows the burgh arms, re-cut, with the inscription: FAVE MIHI MI DEVS 1625 ("Shew me Thy favour, oh my God "). Another bears the words: SEP(E) / DOCE ET /CASTIGA VT / VIVAT PVER ("Be diligent in instruction and spare not the rod, lest the child be spoiled"); and the third: X / DISCE / ET PATE / RE SIC TE BEAB / IT DEVS TVVS ("Learn and endure, so shall thy God bless thee").

RCAHMS 1933, visited 8 April 1929.
