An extensive old burial ground to the west of the A832 extending to the hilly dunes above Gairloch beach. Contains many old burial enclosures as well as some relatively recent burials. A roofless structure inside the burial ground is probably the ruin of St. Maelrubha's, possibly the once thatched church built in 1751. Successive churches have stood near centre of the burial ground since the 7th century. A new church was built across the main road in 1791.
