"The annual Latin Mass at Cambuskenneth Abbey was held on Saturday 13th when Fr John Emerson said the traditional Mass dedicated to Mary, the mother of Jesus, "Salve Sancta Parens" (Hail, Holy Mother).
Mass was said in the tower of the Abbey, once known as the Abbey of St Mary of Cambuskenneth. The men of the Edinburgh Schola sang Gregorian chant and the congregation sang with them. The tower was crowded and cold but the singing was joyful."
