Tour Scotland Autumn video of St Bride's Chapel in St Conan's Kirk by Loch Awe, Argyll, Scotland. This chapel contains the tomb of the Fourth Lord Blythswood, who helped to carry on the work on St Conan's Kirk after Walter Campbell and his sister had both died. This chapel is in a very early Norman style and contains two slabs of Levantine marble about which there is a curious little history. Although coming originally from the Mediterranean, they were shaped and polished somewhere near Louvain. The first duly arrived on Loch Awe side in the summer of 1914, but the second had to wait until the end of the First World War before it could join its neighbour.
