At first we could not land, as the waves were too high; but at last one of the larger boats came alongside, and the more curious among us ventured to row to the land in the unsteady vessel.
The exterior of the church resembles a fine antiquated castle from its four corner towers and the lowness of its dome, which rises very little above the building, and also because the other turrets here and there erected for ornament are scarcely perceptible.

The interior of the church is remarkable for its size, its height, and a particularly fine echo.

The tones of the organ are said to produce a most striking effect.
We sent for the organist, but he was nowhere to be found; so we had to content ourselves with the echo of our own voices.

We went from this place to the old royal castle built by Queen Margaret in the sixteenth century.

The castle is so dilapidated inside that a tarrying in the upper chambers is scarcely advisable.
