Scope and Content Chapel, Mount Stuart House, Isle of Bute, Argyll & Bute, looking south-east The chapel of Mount Stuart, designed by the architect, Robert Rowand Anderson, for John Patrick Crichton-Stuart, 3rd Marquess of Bute, has one of the most lavish interiors of the house. Harry Bedford Lemere photographed the interior in 1904. The chapel, entered by a door (right) from the Great Hall, is built on a cross-plan, with shallow transepts (left), and a huge lantern carried on the arches of the crossing. Its walls, pillars, arches and vaults are all of polished white Carrara marble. John Patrick Crichton-Stuart (1847-1900) was a deeply spiritual man who, in 1868, converted to Roman Catholicism. He became a noted scholar of theology, and on his death, his heart was taken to the Holy Land to be buried on the Mount of Olives. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
