Scope and Content A whitewashed house within a hedged garden sits on the steep foreground slope above a narrow wooded valley cutting into the glen floor. A church and graveyard with surrounding houses stand across the valley. The glen has fields and copses on its floor and lower slopes. There is a misty view of the far hills. The Gothic church has a broad body with buttresses and pinnacles along the sides and a tall narrow pinnacled west tower. The church was built in 1892 to replace a ruin in the churchyard. There is a Pictish symbol stone built into the walls. George Wishart (c1513-1546), the martyr, has a memorial here.
