Description

St Peter's Church and Old Burial-Ground in Rathven features a large, irregularly shaped burial ground surrounded by rubble walls topped with a tooled ashlar coping. At the northwest angle, there are cast-iron spearhead railings flanking a simple entrance, which has a pair of slender cast-iron gatepiers and is closed by plain spearhead carriage gates. The burial ground contains various tombstones dating from the 18th century and later. Notably, there is a burial enclosure for the Gordons of Farskan and Nether Buckie, erected in 1799, which incorporates a memorial from 1592.

The Rannas Aisle, dated 1612, was formerly the south aisle of a demolished parish church. It is rectangular and constructed of harl pointed rubble with ashlar dressings. The aisle features a large round-headed arched entrance with chamfered ashlar margins, a concave moulded eaves cornice, and a flush faced slab roof.

Inside, there is a substantial marble memorial to Andrew Hay of Rannas, who died in 1789, along with a single hatchment.
