Dunstaffnage Chapel is located close to Dunstaffnage Castle just north of Oban. It was constructed by the Lords of Lorn and is the burial-place of the Campbells of Dunstaffnage. Today, it lies in a very ruinous state.

Dunstaffnage Castle is an impressive fortification situated on a platform of conglomerate rock forming a promontory at the south-west of the entrance to Loch Etive on the Firth of Lorn and is surrounded on three sides by the sea. The shape of the castle wall is an irregular quadrangle and was largely determined by the contours of the rock on which it stands.

The strategic location, overlooking what was once the most important junction of the sea-lanes on the west coast of Scotland, and the presence of such an inviting lump of rock on which to build, means that this has been a defended site for nearly 1500 years.
