Kiltearn Old Parish Churchyard.

Kiltearn Old Churchyard is near the shore of the the Cromarty Firth, at the end of a minor road, which is accessed off the road linking Evanton with the A9.

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

A wonderful picture of the ruined church . My great great grandfather, great great grandmother, and great aunts are buried here. A peaceful place for them.

My Great great great granparents were married here on the 7th February 1824. I have visited the old church and it is beautiful - I would love to get back there one day and catalogue all the headstones. I still hope to one day find that my GGG grandfather is buried here.

Visited this graveyard again a few weeks ago trying to find a Mary McDonald, the daughter of Kenneth MacDonald who is buried here with the rest of the family. I noticed something unusual about the headstones-most of the flower/ plant containers were made so they fitted over the top of the headstone. Does anyone know where they can be purchased from? I asked in Inverness but no-one had one.
Once again a beautiful resting place which is very well maintained.

My parents, Margaret and Ted Fuller, are both buried in Kiltearn churchyard. They used to live in the little cottage along the road (go straight instead of turning right, back to the main road). My mother often walked along to the ruined church.
