Description
Menmuir Churchyard is an early 18th century churchyard located to the south and east of the former Menmuir Parish Church. It features several notable monuments and headstones, including one dedicated to Keatren Fairweather from 1702. Some headstones display heraldry or symbolic carvings. The churchyard is enclosed by rubble red sandstone and coped boundary walls, with a retaining wall to the south. There are tooled ashlar square gatepiers with cast iron gates featuring scrolled arrowheads to the north and west. The western gate is flanked by a narrow section of low wall topped with railings, which connects to the boundary wall along the west elevation of the church. The northern gate is adjacent to the Carnegy vault enclosure of the church.
