Scope and Content Tarbat Old Parish Church, Tarbatness Road, Portmahomack, Highland Tarbat Old Parish Church was built in 1756 on medieval foundations. The west gable (left) is crowned by a domed bellcote constructed in about 1700. At the base is the Macleod burial enclosure, also dating from about 1700. 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.
