Description
The churchyard wall at Avoch Parish Church is built from rubble and features a dressed coping that encloses a graveyard. This graveyard contains tombstones from the 18th, 19th, and 20th centuries, including the grave of Sir Alexander Mackenzie of Avoch, who died in 1820 and is known for discovering the Mackenzie River in Canada. There is also a late 19th-century Gothic enclosure for James Fletcher of Rosehaugh and his wife. The entrance is marked by square gate piers topped with pyramidal coping, which support a wrought-iron curvilinear scroll bracket with a lamp in the center.
