Scope and Content Stobhall, chapel, Perth and Kinross The chapel is the earliest of several buildings of medieval or later date situated on the promontory at Stobhall. Possibly of 14th- or 15th-century date, the chapel became a ground-floor hall when it was incorporated into the tower-house in 1578. Restored in 1840, the simple rectangular chapel has a particularly fine painted ceiling which is dated 1642 but was repainted in 1858. Stobhall was the residence of the Drummond family from at least 1345 and their coat of arms is displayed above the door. The painted ceiling is decorated with figures of Kings from Britain, Spain, Sweden, France, Poland, Mauretania, the emperor of Germany, Sultan of Turkey and Prester John, mixed with panels of animals, birds and floriated designs.
