Scope and Content A general view of Portmahomack with the Free Church lower right behind the caravans. To the right and beyond the caravans is the Free Church Manse and above it on a triangle of grass the War Memorial. In the centre right, surrounded by a large burial ground, is the old Parish Church, now Tarbat Discovery Centre, housing many of the carved Pictish stones from the former Pictish Monastery which have been found within the church, churchyard and elsewhere in the village. The monastic enclosure ditch is not visible but from the prominent row of gravestones to the left of the church it arcs south and west through the two fields centre right and then returns towards the shore beyond the two cottages above the Free Church Manse. The monastic and later workshops and mill were found between those cottages and the churchyard. Just above and to the right of centre the former parish Manse and walled garden. In the upper left below the golf course are the old school buildings. Title and Scope & Content contributed by North of Scotland Archaeological Society (2021).
