Scope and Content A general view of Gilchrist (church, burial ground and farm) with a promontory fort just below centre right. The "fort" is surrounded on three sides by lower marshy ground occupying former kettle holes. Recent (2018) excavation as part of the Tarradale Through Time project provided much more detailed knowledge of the fort defences. A little lower and to the left of the fort a linear feature and pits within a possible enclosure have been noted on aerial photographs, but not visible in this one. In the centre left the structure closest to the fort on the edge of the cluster of buildings is Gilchrist's medieval church, restored as a mausoleum in the 19th century, and surrounded by a churchyard and enclosing wall. Title and Scope & Content contributed by North of Scotland Archaeological Society (2021).
