Murder at a Wedding!

Murder at a Wedding!
Chapel with a tragic history in the grounds of Dunstaffnage Castle,

1462 is the year and events unfolded on the 20th December as a bridal party walked through the woods from the castle, The 3rd Lord of Lorn Sir John Stewart a widower was to marry his mistress a MacLaren of Ardvich with whom he already had a son.
However before reached the chapel a vengeful relative who had hidden in the bushes ambushed and stabbed him several times, He was carried into the chapel where he found enough breath to make his wedding vows before he died, This ensured his sons inheritance!

HWW !!!!!!!!!!
