Description: Graveyard associated with a church (church demolished 1797). In the burial ground is the remains of part of the church wall with a memorial tablet (1699), and also the Gordon Mausoleum. The Burial Ground Extension dates from 1929. In the central area, in and around the site of the former church, there are many table and flat (recumbent) stones. There are two enclosures, 1 mausoleum and 1 cast-iron memorial which is rare outside the central belt of Scotland. The 'modern' extension dates from 1929 and has little significance, general typical 20th Century stones. The tablet mounted in the wall section is of significance due to its age, but is very weathered. The Mausoleum, although large and ornate, seems to only house 1 burial. The cast-iron stone is somewhat out of place in these surroundings. Many flat and table stones in various states of preservation. The Marshall memorial is of considerable significance.
