Inishail's Chapel of St Findoc, dating back to the mid-13th century, stands on Inishail Island in Loch Awe, Scotland. Protected by an iron fence, it rises on a slight eminence. Inside, the graves of the MacArthur clan and the 9th Duke of Argyll, not the 12th, rest. The heart of the chapel houses an early cross, surrounded by 14th and 15th-century stones. One stone, possibly an altar frontal or door lintel, exhibits figures of armed men, a crucified Saviour, and a figure holding up a chalice, symbolizing the Church. This stone, with the crucified Saviour, may bear connections to the Campbells of Lochow, as it depicts a one-masted galley and a boar's head.
