Old Photograph Skelmorlie Aisle Largs Scotland

Old photograph of Skelmorlie Aisle in Largs in Ayrshire, Scotland. The Skelmorlie Aisle of Largs Old Kirk is the remains of a church in the town. The majority of the kirk was demolished in 1802 when the new parish church came into use, but the aisle, a division of the once larger building containing the mausoleum, was retained. The Skelmorlie Aisle contains a notable monument built by a local landowner, Sir Robert Montgomerie of Skelmorlie Castle, seventh laird of Skelmorlie as a burial site for himself and his wife, Dame Margaret Douglas. The aisle was added to the old kirk (church) of Largs in 1636, and comprises a Renaissance canopied tomb above the burial vault entrance. The barrel vaulted ceiling of the aisle was painted 1638 in panels, with heraldic emblems and signs of the Zodiac, etc. by a Mr. Stalker. A third coffin within the tomb is said to be that of Sir Hugh Montgomerie of Eaglesham, a hero of the Battle of Otterburn.
