Tarbat Discovery Centre/Chapel Crypt, nr. Tain, Scotland.
A 12th/13th Century CE crypt built with several Pictish decorated stones. The chapel has a murky past, including the burning to death of a clan leader and his followers after being trapped inside by feuding rivals. The scorch marks have been found on every rediscovered section of the building.
