Walla Kirk graveyard, 18th century. Hard-by the Deveron, on the traditional site of St Wallach's kirk and just downstream of his well and bath or baptism pool. St Wallach allegedly died in 733 and the former church may have dated from the 12th century; St Wallach's Fair was held at Haugh of Glass. Some good 18th-century stones and the burial enclosure of the Gordons of Wardhouse and Beldorney, restored by Rafael Gordon in 1913. The Beldorney Gordons, later of Wardhouse, stemmed from Adam, Dean of Caithness and third son of first Earl of Huntly.
