Edinburgh and Scottish Collection

The Magdalen Chapel is situated on the Cowgate in Edinburgh. It was built in 1544 with a bequest made by Michael MacQueen. After the death of MacQueen's wife the chapel passed to the Incorporation of Hammermen, a guild of metalworkers, who decorated the space with their work. It has the only surviving pre-Reformation stained glass in Scotland left 'in situ'. It is now the headquarters of the Scottish Reformation Society.
