29 April 1997:  The interior of St. Margaret's Chapel.

"On the night of 14 March 1314 the castle was captured by Robert the Bruce.  He destroyed all the buildings in the castle, except for the little chapel. On his death bed in 1329, Bruce spoke of the story of Queen Margaret and issued orders for the chapel's repair, with some forty pounds Scots being put aside for that purpose."
