Scope and Content Interior view showing south windows of chapel on Nave Island, Islay, Argyll and Bute Nave Island lies just north of the northern end of the Rhinns peninsula of Islay. The remains of this medieval chapel and burial-ground are situated on the south-eastern shore of the island. The chapel, first mentioned in 1549, has its origins in the early 13th century, and was out of use by the 18th century. A furnace and chimney for burning kelp was added in the early 19th century, and a lean-to was added to the south wall. This shows the double window in the south wall of the chapel. The west (right) window was probably blocked when the chapel became used for kelp burning. Both are deeply splayed, with thin voussoirs forming a round-headed arch.
