Tour Scotland Video Painted Ceiling St Mary's Church Grandtully Highland Perthshire

Tour Scotland video of the painted ceiling in Grandtully Chapel, Highland Perthshire, Scotland. This Scottish church was endowed by Sir Alexander Stewart of Grandtully in 1533, and restored in 1636. Its main southern section is most unusual in having a barrel-vaulted roof, lined with timber, which is brilliantly painted in tempera, with renaissance decoration, heraldic panels and portraits of the evangelists and other Biblical subjects. It commemorates Sir William Stewart who died 1646, and his wife Dame Agnes Moncreiff. Included in the heraldry are the arms of The Duke of Lennox and the Earl of Atholl, both of whom were Stewarts.
