Not to be confused with the Inch NEW Parish Churchyard, the Inch OLD Parish Churchyard is located on the shore of White Loch, in private ground, just off the main drive to Lochinch Castle. It is located next to the ruins of the Old Parish Church of Inch, that was rebuilt from a former church in 1780 and was used until it was abandoned in 1861 for the Inch New Church and Churchyard, located directly across the estate grounds on the A75.

There is no vehicular access permitted to this part of the grounds, but there is a walk of about 700 yards from the Church Lodge entrance on the A75 about two miles East of Stranraer. The gate is marked "Private" but the burial ground is not private. There is a fence along the right side of the road that holds back livestock, but there is a break in the fence where you turn in to the burial ground hidden behind the trees. The burial ground is generally unkempt and overgrown, making access to some of the gravestones very difficult.

Note:: Records are taken from memorial inscriptions, not burial records. A name on a marker does not necessarily mean that the person is buried there. However the information shown can be valuable for family purposes.
