Surrounding Greenlaw Parish Church on four sides the churchyard is entered through gates in the south and east walls.

A fifteenth-century cross-slab is the oldest visible stone in the graveyard, and was re-used to cover a ventilation chamber in the north-wall of the church. Inscribed with a Latin cross, it bears the initials AH and IL, which may represent Alexander Home of Manderston and his wife Isobella.

Among a number of eighteenth- and nineteenth-century gravestones in the churchyard, is one dating from 1809 which commemorates William Fairburn and features an angel holding a piece of decorated and inscribed fabric.
