Scope and Content Tarbat Old Parish Church at Portmahomack (long white building, centre R) was mostly built in 1756 on mediaeval foundations and now functions as the Tarbat Discovery Centre. It is surrounded by an extensive burial ground. A great number of carved stones and grave slabs have been found in the area surrounding the church and many are now on display within the church. Between 1995 and 2006 an extensive excavation was undertaken in the church and the area around it and the remains of a Pictish monastery were uncovered. Two of the trenches can be seen in this picture. Tarbat Free Church of Scotland, built in 1892-3, is towards the top of the photo. Title and Scope & Content contributed by North of Scotland Archaeological Society (2021).
