[Illustration: FIG. 726.--Chapel, Dunstaffnage Castle. Interior.]
A plan and detailed drawings of this first pointed chapel are given in
connection with the description of the castle,[115] but the general view
of the interior (Fig. 726) is now illustrated, in order more fully to
explain the description above referred to. The ruin is densely covered
with ivy, but the jambs of the chancel arch, enriched with rows of
dog-tooth ornament, are distinctly visible (see Section). The arch is
now built up, and the chancel is converted into a tomb-house. A section
of the window jambs and shaft between is also shown in Fig. 726. This
edifice is one of the few examples of enriched first pointed work to be
found in the Western Highlands and Islands.
Another very interesting specimen of a first pointed church exists at
Skipness, Kintyre, which is also described and illustrated in _The
Castellated and Domestic Architecture of Scotland_.[116]
