Abstract:		 A programme of standing building recording was completed in March 2016. The chapel is now associated with St Margaret who died in 1093 but was initially dedicated to St Michael, during the reign of David I (1124-53). The chapel was ultimately converted for use as a gunpowder store in the 17th century and the late-medieval chapel which adjoined the east end of St Margaret's Chapel continued as the garrison chapel until the late 18th century. This in turn was replaced by a new chapel which lasted to the later 19th century. Queen Margaret's Chapel was heavily restored from the early 1850's in order to create the Romanesque style of chapel which exists today. The recent programme of recording revealed evidence of all these building phases and significantly did confirm that the 12th-century chancel arch and associated arch were inserted within an existing structure but whether the latter is contemporary with the 11th-century Queen Margaret is not known at present.
