Schomberg Scott re-designed the old Servant’s Hall in 1962 to create a new chapel dedicated to the Border Saints. The chapel is arranged college-wise and correctly orientated with the altar. A new mobile oak altar was commissioned from Nigel Bridges in 2002. A carved wooden screen was inspired by the sixteenth century chapel at Falkland Palace, Fife. On the screen are six wooden statues of early Christian Borders Saints, all carved by Norman Forrest of Edinburgh. The engraved glass window depicts a choir of angels with musical instruments and is the work of Ann Robertson of Haddington. The metal crucifix over the altar was commissioned from the Scottish sculptor, George Wylie.
