Summary
[edit]DescriptionThe Knight's Grave, St Mary's Chapel - geograph.org.uk - 1289936.jpg |
English: The Knight's Grave, St Mary's Chapel. St Mary's Chapel, in the churchyard of the High Kirk, Rothesay 1289836, was repaired by the order of the Marquess of Bute in May 1817. It contains two elaborate graves - this one of the knight being on the western side: the other, of a lady and child, is on the opposite wall - and other gravestones, both vertical and horizontal. The information-board tells us that "the effigy is of a knight in complete plate armour, his head resting on a helmet crested with a dog's head, his feet on a lion. From the jewelled belt around his waist hang a sword and a dagger". The coat of arms on the tomb indicates that the knight was part of the House of Stewart - it's possible that Robert II built the tomb for himself or his family: but he is buried at Scone, so perhaps the tomb was used for the Sheriffs of Bute. In the wall can be seen the piscina (for washing holy vessels) and an aumbry (small recess or cupboard). |
