St Mary's Chapel, Grandtully - Painted Ceiling

In Nether Pitcairn, 3.2 km south-west of Grandtully, there is a church built by Alexander Stewart of Grandtully in, or shortly before, 1533.

It is a low and outwardly unassuming white washed building that contains a wooden barrel vault ceiling with tempera paintings from the early 17th century commissioned by William Stewart around 1636. At the centre, a painted aedicule frames a death-bed and resurrection scene. The ceiling includes scenes and persons from the bible intermixed with the coats of arms of kings and noblemen, and in addition an abundance of birds, fruits and angels, all depicted in a renaissance style with cartouches and imitated metal work. The paintings were restored in about 1950.
