In the graveyard is the roofless burial-vault of the Kers of Chatto which was restored in 1833 and again in 1917 (information from Historic Scotlanfd listing). At least two other vaults are visible in the graveyard along with one carved gravestone (possibly of late 18th century date) which is situated on the W side, with the image of a man with his dog. Most other gravestones are of mid to late 19th and early 20th century date. A new cemetery has been built 213m NE of the church (centred NT 70189 30813).
