Kiltearn Burial Ground - a photo on Flickriver

The ruined church dates from the 1790s. However, the site had been used for worship and burial centuries before.

Situated close to the shore of the Cromarty Firth, the Kiltearn Old Parish Church is believed to stand on the site of a much earlier church and not only does it preserve in its structure some vestiges of the pr*-Reformation Church that it replaced, but its long history is so intimately tied up with the individual histories of the inhabitants of Kiltearn, that to let it fall into further decay would be a travesty.

Since 1588 it has been the burial place of the Munros of Foulis. It also has the Novar family enclosure and there are several 17th and 18th century gravestones in the graveyard. Rebuilt in 1791, it housed the Lairds gallery entered by the outside stair and its history is important to not only the families who live in the area but also to the history of the Church of Scotland as a whole.
On the outside of the east wall of the church, part of a former arch can be seen, probably belonging to the previously-mentioned earlier church. A re-used fragment of a medieval cross slab can be seen on the exterior of the south wall of the nave at first floor level and towards the east end of the building.
