Scope and Content Detail of grave-slab in Kilchiaran Chapel, Islay, Argyll and Bute The village of Kilchiaran is situated on the west of the Rhinns peninsula of Islay. The medieval chapel is dedicated to St Ciaran. It was roofless by 1794, and was partly restored and reconstructed by the Islay Historic Buildings Works Group in 1972-3. This tapered slab is located within the remains of the chapel. At the top there is a foliated cross with a plaited centre. The inscription beneath this is dedicated to 'John and Donald'. Below the inscription, there are two niches containing figures kneeling in prayer. The lower portion has a sword, which was a symbol of power and strength, surrounded by plant-stems, a griffin and a small figure of a man. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
