Scope and Content MacDuffie Aisle from the south-west, Oronsay Priory, Oronsay, Argyll and Bute Oronsay Priory, a house of Augustinian canons was founded in the second quarter of the 14th century by John I, Lord of the Isles. Unusually for Argyll, it was a medieval foundation on a site where there is no surviving previous Early Christian activity. The side chapel, known as the MacDuffie Aisle, is to the south of the church and was added in the late 15th or early 16th century. Until the late 19th century, there were memorials to members of the MacDuffie clan in the chapel. Internally the chapel measures 6m by 3m. On the east wall there is an aumbry which would have been used to store the sacred vessels needed for mass. On the north wall there is a recess which held an effigy of Prior MacDuffie who died in 1555. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
