Churchyard, which contains Craig slab of 1583 and some 18th century stones, also houses the Tolquhon Monument of 1589 (Thomas Leper). For William Forbes of Tolquhon and his wife, Elizabeth Gordon, it is all that survives of the south aisle of the old kirk. A marvellous blend of Gothic and Renaissance motifs, a worthy reflection of the life of the builder of
Tolquhon. (Pediment over probably 1798.)
