Burial Ground, Old Parish Church, Inveravon

Inveravon Parish Church is a simple rectangular parish church dating to 1806, situated within a burial ground on a secluded bluff above the south-eastern bank of the River Spey. The building incorporates medieval fabric in its south wall and was substantially remodelled by A Marshall Mackenzie of Aberdeen in 1876. The church's origins date back at least to 1108, when it was dedicated to St Peter, though Pictish sculpture found here indicates even earlier origins.

The church is a simple rectangular building harled with tooled granite margins and dressings. The original 1806 work is supplemented by later dressings of tooled ashlar sandstone from the 1876 remodelling. The roof is slated. A corniced birdcage bellcote with a ball finial sits on the west gable.

The south elevation contains four symmetrical round-headed windows with Y-shaped timber tracery, inserted in 1876. This wall incorporates masonry from the north wall of the earlier medieval church. The north elevation features three pointed-headed hoodmoulded windows and a gabled entrance porch in gothic style, both added in 1876, together with a single-storey, two-bay Minister's room at the west gable. The Minister's room has a shouldered lintel to its doorway and simple bipartite glazing with lattice panes. The east gable has a round-headed window with lattice-pane glazed fanlight and a sexfoil window above, all from the 1876 remodelling.

The interior originally featured a pulpit mid-way along the south wall and galleries at either end. The 1876 remodelling removed the western gallery and allowed the interior to be realigned, with liturgical furniture moved to the west end. A coomb ceiling with scissor-braced roof and pendant finials dates to this remodelling. The interior is plain with pine plank dado and pews, and retains a gallery at the east end from 1806. A carved backboard behind the communion table, organ (1876, case around 1911), and pulpit (around 1901, moved from Wishart Memorial Church, Dundee) are also present.

Within the porch, which no longer provides access to the main church body, is a collection of Pictish symbol stones dating to around the 6th-8th centuries AD. Three were discovered during construction of the present church in 1806, and a fourth was found in the burial ground in 1964. The symbols were previously attached to the north wall before being moved to the porch in 2011 for display. The centremost stone is a large blue slate slab bearing an eagle, mirror case, and mirror and comb. To its left is unmetamorphosed sandstone bearing the crescent and V-rod and a Pictish Beast. Above is a fragment of hard blue gneiss, cut down and dressed as a wall stone, retaining only the head of a Pictish Beast symbol facing right. To the right is hard gneiss bearing the crescent and V-rod, triple ring, and comb and mirror symbols.

The burial ground is defined by a coped rubble wall with a pair of simple square granite gatepiers with shaped caps and cast-iron gates. It contains 18th, 19th and 20th century tombstones, many of the earlier memorials finely inscribed in local slate. The Macpherson-Grant mausoleum stands east of the church, listed separately.
