Dunstaffnage Chapel was built in the mid 13th century and is a perfect example of the wealth and sophistication of its builder, Duncan MacDougall. No other chapel of this date in mainland Scotland can match it for quality. Little is known about the chapel other than it was a family chapel which served the inhabitants of the castle, it was never a parish church. In 1740 when the chapel had become ruinous the Campbells of Dunstaffnage incorporated a burial aisle into the east gable. It contains memorials to members of the Campbell family.
