Tour Scotland Autumn video of the King Robert The Bruce Chapel in St Conan's Kirk by Loch Awe, Argyll, Scotland. This Scottish chapel owes its origins to the fact that it was on a hillside above the church that he dispatched the famous outflanking column under the Earl of Douglas, which inflicted a decisive defeat on John Lorne and his clansmen in the Pass of Brander. The effigy is made of wood, with the hands and face being of alabaster. Beneath the effigy is a small ossuary which contains a bone of Bruce, from Dunfermline Abbey in Fife. The window in the chapel was the original west window from St Mary's Church in Leith, Edinburgh.
