About Skelmorlie Aisle

The Skelmorlie Aisle of Largs Old Kirk is the remaining parts of a congregation in the town of Largs, Ayrshire, Scotland. The lion's share of the kirk was annihilated in 1802 when the new ward church came into utilization, yet the walkway, a division of the once bigger building containing the sepulcher, was held. The Skelmorlie Aisle contains an outstanding landmark worked by a neighborhood landowner, Sir Robert Montgomerie of Skelmorlie Castle, 7th laird of Skelmorlie as an internment site for himself and his significant other, Dame Margaret Douglas.

The passageway was added to the old kirk of Largs in 1636, and includes a Renaissance canopied tomb over the entombment vault entrance. The barrel vaulted roof of the passageway was painted 1638 in boards, with heraldic insignias and indications of the Zodiac, and so forth by a Mr. Stalker. A third pine box inside the tomb is said to be that of Sir Hugh Montgomerie of Eaglesham, a legend of the Battle of Otterburn. It can be contrasted and other critical tombs, for example, that of the Cunninghames, Earls of Glencairn at Kilmaurs in East Ayrshire.
