Scope and Content Detail of front face of cross at Inveraray Castle, Argyll and Bute The head and most of the shaft of this disc-headed cross were removed from the burial-ground at Kirkapoll, Tiree, in the 19th century and re-erected in the garden south-east of the castle. The socket-stone on which it stands also came from Kirkapoll. The centre of the disc is a representation of the Crucifixion, with a figure on either side. It is bordered by a single row of trefoil-shaped leaves. The side-arms are blank but the upper arm is decorated with St Michael slaying a dragon. The cross is thought to date to the second half of the 15th century. It is similar to a cross known as MacLean's Cross, on Iona, and to a cross known as the Duncan MacMillan Cross at Kilmory Knap, Argyll, both of which date to this period.
