help me please with translation

Hello! :D
it's from the book I'm reading at the moment :

...after her return to Scotland, in a now Protestant Country.
can I take it like: после её возвращения в Шотландию - теперь уже протестантскую страну.?

Of great beauty, its courtyard is the place of...
is it close to: Замечательный по красоте, его внутренний двор был местом...?

I ofted encouter such words:
..., the legend has it,... and ..., it is said,...
I have a version for the first one:
..., по легенде,... (, согласно легенде,)
and what does the second mean?

Thank you :!: :D

-в настоящее время
-про красоту уловил :)
-Легенды говорят
-это просто безличная конструкция: говорится, говорят.

Why not simply 'очень красивый'? :)

Give any example, please...

Rtyom thank you! :D
Stranger thank you too!
The origin phrase was:
A view from above of the ruins of the abbey that, legend has it, was founded in 1128 by David I.
Here is how I featured that:
Вид сверху на руины аббатства, которое, согласно легенде, было основано в 1128 Давидом Первым.

I understood with it is said, then am I right about it is thought reading that like предпологают, как предпологают, как думают?
I can't find where I read those last two, but I met it frequently here and there.

Thank's for your help guys!

As for 'it is thought', I'd in major cases translate it as 'считается'. Depends on the context, though

Спасибо большое! :D

I would translate "It is said" as "Говорят". This is a common expression in literature, film, speeches, etc.; when someone is trying to make an "intellectual" statement; but it is not used colloquially. However, you would hear "it's said" much more often in common spoken English because it does not sound so "pompous" and has a slightly different connotation/ meaning.

I hope this helps.
