Rattray Parish Churchyard, High Street, Rattray

Rattray Parish Churchyard, dating from the early 19th century and later, features rubble walls that enclose the church and graveyard. The gravestones are mainly of a simple moulded apex style, with some displaying traditional symbols of mortality. Notable carvings include a weathered stone with a semicircular head that contains a scallop shell, and a memorial to Archibald Ferguson, who died at Hatton of Rattray in 1874, featuring a trumpeting angel on the pediment. There is a single table stone that is heavily eroded and has broken supports.

The churchyard includes a roofless rubble burial vault with a pointed-arch gateway to the west, along with various early 19th century mural monuments, including a sarcophagus-style monument inscribed with 'IN THIS CRYPT ARE THE REMAINS OF MANY OF THE WHITSONS OF PARKHILL WHO DIED BEFORE 1900'.

The Rattray family enclosure is marked by low walls and inset railings, featuring a blind arcade of red sandstone ashlar. The center arch is decoratively moulded with engaged colonettes and topped with a family crest. This memorial traces the family's history back to 'Alan De Ratrief 1210'.

To the west wall is the Craighall enclosure, which has decorative cast-iron railings and marble mural tablets, including one for 'RATTRAY OF CORAL BANK'. The churchyard also contains Commonwealth War Graves from World War I, including Colour Sergeant John Grubb, Private W McFarlane, and Private James Ramsay, as well as from World War II, including Senior Commander Charlotte Elizabeth Clerk Rattray and Private Peter Baynes.

The boundary walls consist of semicircular-coped rubble, with dome-capped square-section ashlar gatepiers and decorative ironwork gates.
