Rubble walled churchyard with many good gravestones, mainly
of earlier 18th century date.
Some are recorded in the RCAHMS inventory including 2 dated
1706 and 1707 with representations of the Temptation of Adam
and Eve. More anecdotal in iconography is a stone to John
Murray dated 1777. Sculptured on the front are a gun, a
powder-flask, a grouse, hunting dog and fishing rod below
which is an epitaph on the deceased man's lifestyle.
Many of the stones are of high quality with good sculptural
detail.
