Image of the feature "Doorways: Nave, S doorway." at Dalmeny.

Round headed, 3 orders. The main entrance (and only original doorway) to the church, located on the south side of the nave, consists of a highly decorated doorway surmounted by a series of blind interlacing arches above which are seven corbels. The doorway, itself, is carved with radiating voussoirs, all of which are original except for the inner order which dates from restorations carried out between 1927 and 1934. Because of severe weathering of the stone, much of the original detailing no longer survives.
