Crichton Memorial Chapel Falkland Fife Scotland

Tour Scotland 4K Autumn travel video of the Chrichton Memorial Chapel on ancestry, Outlander, ancestry visit to Falkland, Fife. Ninian Patrick Crichton Stuart, known to his family as Ringan, died at the House of Falkland just a few weeks short of his third birthday. He was the son of Lord and Lady Ninian Crichton Stuart, owners of Falkland Estate. A few days later, after a Roman Catholic service in the Chapel Royal at Falkland Palace, he was buried at this site. Two years later his parents commissioned Reginald Fairlie, a friend, fellow Catholic and architect whose family home was nearby Myres Castle, to design a chapel to commemorate their young son and which might also serve as the Roman Catholic church for the village of Falkland. The chapel was dedicated to Saints Ninian and Patrick of Ireland. One of the first scenes for Outlander was filmed in the picturesque town of Falkland.
