Statement of Interest

Group with Old Parish Church and Manse. This graveyard has been in continuous use since the seventeenth century, it remains an important element within the original Kirkton of Glenbuchat settlement and as a nucleus for the wider context of the whole Glen. It surrounds the church on three sides, and is bordered by the former manse and glebelands to the south. The area was extended by removal and re-erection of the western boundary wall during the later years of the twentieth century, resulting in the isolation of two former mural monuments.
