Scope and Content Detail of West Highland effigy from Kilnaughton Old Parish Church, Islay, Argyll and Bute A late medieval chapel and burial-ground stand at Kilnaughton, c.2km west of Port Ellen on Islay's south coast. The chapel was dedicated to the 7th-century Scottish saint, St Nechtan, and remained in use until the end of the 17th century. There are a number of medieval grave-slabs within the chapel, some of which have been removed to the Museum of Islay Life in Port Charlotte. The burial-ground contains many post-Reformation (1560) grave-slabs which are still in their original positions. This 14th- or 15th-century tapered slab bears an effigy of a man in armour. The figure wears a conical helmet, a coat of mail under a knee-length tunic, and holds a sword. Above his left shoulder (right) is a small robed figure holding shears and a book.
