Description

The monument comprises Tullibardine Chapel, a monument in the care of the Secretary of State for Scotland. The monument is being re-scheduled to clarify the extent of the protected area.

The monument comprises a chapel, founded in 1446 by Sir David Murray of Dumbarton, surrounded by a small graveyard. The chapel is substantially unaltered from its original cruciform plan, with a small tower on the W entered from the church by a narrow doorway.

The area to be scheduled comprises the remains described and an area around them within which related material may be expected to survive. It is irregular in shape, defined by a low stone wall, with maximum dimensions of 50m between its N- and S-most points and 43m between its E- and W-most points, as marked in red on the accompanying map extract.

Statement of Scheduling

The monument is of national importance as a particularly fine example of a Medieval chapel and for its potential to contribute to our understanding of Medieval ecclesiastical architecture. Its importance is reflected in its status as a Property in Care of Scottish Ministers.
