Kilmory Knap Chapel, Medieval chapel in South Knapdale, Scotland

The stone chapel measures 38 by 17 feet with two round-headed lancets in the east wall near the coast of Loch Sween.

Built in the 13th century, this chapel served as a subsidiary to Keills Chapel and later became a roofless burial enclosure until 1934.

The chapel contains 36 numbered stones, including Early Christian cross-slabs and West Highland grave slabs from different artistic traditions.

The chapel opens to visitors from April through September and sits near the B8025 road between Loch Sween and Loch Caolisport.

MacMillan's Cross, moved inside in 1981, features detailed carvings of both a Crucifixion scene and Alexander MacMillan with hunting dogs.
