Skelmorlie Aisle, Renaissance burial vault in Largs, Scotland
The Skelmorlie Aisle stands as a two-level structure with a stone Renaissance monumental tomb in the upper laird's loft and lead coffins in the lower vault.
Built in 1636 as an extension to Largs Parish Church, the aisle survived when the main church building was demolished in 1802.
The ceiling, painted by J Stalker in 1638, displays biblical scenes, zodiac signs, and contemporary depictions of life in seventeenth-century Largs.
Visitors can access the aisle from April through September, Thursday to Sunday between 1:30 PM and 4:30 PM through Largs Museum.
The interior features a painted barrel-vaulted ceiling with detailed Renaissance artwork, making it an exceptional example of 17th-century Scottish craftsmanship.
