Chapel On Visit To Glamis Castle In Angus Scotland

Tour Scotland travel video, with Scottish music, of the Chapel on visit to the interior of Glamis Castle in Angus Region. Glamis Castle chapel is located in the north east corner of a wing, which was built between 1679 and 1683. There was a castle on this site in 1376, when it was granted by Robert I to John Lyon, Lord Glamis, who rebuilt the castle. The chapel is known today as St Michael's and All Angels Episcopal Church, and is a private chapel to the Earl of Strathmore. The interior of the chapel features ceiling and wall paintings by the Dutch artist Jacob de Witt. The ceiling paintings include Our Lord's Life and Apostles. The ceiling and wall panels were commissioned by Patrick, first earl of Strathmore. De Witt also made an altar piece for the chapel. The chapel has rows of wooden chairs facing the raised altar and chancel area. There are two doors which lead to other parts of the castle.
