Kirkyard Gateway (Pittodrie's yate), 1626. Across the road, a rather grand, if solid, roll-moulded archway pierces a gabled wall topped with three ball finials.

Pittodrie's Yate. Kirkyard gateway dated 1626. Roll-moulded archway; moulded skews; recess for panel on inside of the gate. The three finials at the apex were set up again about 1923, and may be those from the bellcote of the previous church.
