Treasured Old Stones
Among the carved stones of special interest is a fragment of yellow sandstone with an incised Latin cross, probably taken from a medieval tombstone and now built into the churchyard wall to the north west of the church. In the graveyard itself can be seen a number of tombstones of the "skull and crossbone" period. One quaint stone more legible than most is to the memory of Andrew Borrowman who died at the age of 19 years. On either side of the deceased stands a belted figure – celestial beings come to escort the soul on the heavenly journey. On the west side of the church are a number of walled family burial grounds belonging to local lairds of earlier days, including those of Halmyre, Lamancha and The Whim.
