Description
The Old Parish Churchyard in Arngask features rubble walls and cantilevered steps at the gate, along with a ruined watch house. The watch house is square and constructed from rubble with droved dressings, both built by John Stewart of Collessie in 1830. There is a simple square bellcote with a pyramid roof and a ball finial, which houses a bell made by Robert Maxwell in 1710, a relic from a previous church. The churchyard contains a few notable gravestones from the 18th and early 19th centuries, as well as a medieval effigy, possibly of Lady Margaret Barclay, located at the watch house.
