Scope and Content Effigy of Sir Donald MacDuffie, Oronsay Priory, Oronsay, Argyll and Bute Over 30 medieval graveslabs are now stored in the building known as the Prior's House. In the 15th century the priory became an important centre for stone carving, creating products of what has become known as the 'Oronsay school'. This tapered slab, of the Oronsay school, formerly lay in the recess in the MacDuffie Chapel. It bears the low-relief effigy of a priest in processional vestments. He wears a cassock, a surplice with wide sleeves and a cope fastened by a narrow band. The inscription is carved in relief at the top and continues at the bottom of the slab. It translates as 'Here lies Sir Donald MacDuffie, Conventual Prior of Oronsay, who died in the year 155-'. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
