Tour Scotland travel video, with Scottish music, of the graveyard and church on ancestry, genealogy, history visit to Kilbrandon on the Island of Seil, one of the Slate Islands, located on the east side of the Firth of Lorn, seven miles South West of Oban. There was a pre Reformation chapel at Kilbrandon which was founded by St Brendan. In the early 16th century Muriel, daughter of the Thane of Calder, married Sir John Campbell, son of the Earl of Argyll at Inverary and so Clan Campbell of Cawdor was founded. " Many renowned and some infamous " clan members are buried at Kilbrandon churchyard on Seil. Seil became part of the Netherlorn estates of the Breadalbane family, a branch of Clan Campbell, until the 20th century when their land was sold off as smaller farms and individual houses. The church was built in 1866 and is famous for the stained glass windows. These were the work of Dr Douglas Strachan and were presented to the church in 1938 in memory of the Marchioness of Breadalbane.
