Lord Duncan Campbell was buried in the choir of Kilmun Church in 1453 with effigies of his wife Marjory and himself placed against the north wall. The coffins appear to be carved to look like Duncan and Marjory. The coffins lay fully exposed at the end of the hall under an beautiful carved arch. The sight is very impressive.
