Latin Inscription on Burial Aisle entrance




fiacre, margarita et ludovice
Orate Pro Nobis
mcmxxx

St Fiacre,St Margaret and St Louis
Pray For Us
1930

The previous Captain of Dunstaffnage believed the Chapel was dedicated to St Fiacre, patron of Brie in N. France. St Margaret of Scotland and St Louis of France were added because the Captain claimed descent from both.

This inscription was a way for the Campbells of Dunstaffnage to show off their status and royal descent.
