Scope and Content Detail of St Clement's burial-aisle, St Clement's Church of Scotland, Tulloch Street, Dingwall, Highland St Clement's Church was built in 1799-1803 by George Burn of Haddington and replaced an earlier church. The interior furnishings were renewed in 1877-8. The graveyard contains monuments from as early as the 16th century. St Clement's burial-aisle was built in 1510 as part of the parish church. After it fell into disuse, its arches were blocked to turn it into a burial-aisle. It contains the late 18th-century monument of the Mackenzies of Fairburn. Burials inside churches were banned in 1581. Wealthy families got around this by converting disused religious structures into mausolea, by adding burial-aisles to churches, and, in the 17th century, by creating separate burial-enclosures.
