Abstract:		 A watching brief was maintained during extensive renovations of 20 Chanonry, Old Aberdeen, which is the remaining part of the Chaplains' Court built between 1519 and 1547 by Bishop Gavin Dunbar and, after his death, by his executors. In its original form the Court consisted of a rectangular courtyard surrounded by four ranges of buildings and with towers at each corner. Entry was through a pend from the Chanonry. After the Reformation, many of the buildings fell into ruin and have subsequently been demolished. The present property comprises the pend arch with chamber above, the N half of the W range and the NW tower. This part of the building had been raised and altered significantly during building work in 1718 and in the 19th century, but much of the 17th-century structure remains. Recording of the E face of the W range during temporary removal of the harling, and the excavation for a new pathway, have allowed confirmation of the position and width of the former N range. Recording of a number of blocked features on the walls of the W range and recording within the building during the renovation work have added considerable detail to the understanding both of the 16th-century Chaplains' Court and of the later changes. Most dramatically, removal of the 19th- century fireplace has revealed a blocked 16th-century fireplace behind it. J C Murray 2013
