Errol Parish Church Graveyard

Errol Parish Church Graveyard dates from the 17th century and later. It features rubble walls that enclose an L-plan graveyard, which contains the site of the former parish church.

Inside the graveyard, there are 17th century tomb chests with clearly carved emblems representing the deceased, including one for Alexander Omay from 1639. The graveyard also has 18th century gravestones of notable sculptural quality, including a mural monument dedicated to W, which features relief carving flanked by Roman Doric columns supporting a battered cope and a deep roll-moulded panel, though some details are eroded. One headstone from 1762 displays an angel's head and wings, flanked by the initials 'DM' (May) and 'SD' (Duff).

The 19th century stones include a simple stone with three carved hearts above the commemorative inscription 'ERECTED BY WILLIAM FLOWERDEW (CHURCH?) OFFICER IN ERROL, 1808'. There is also a moulded-apex incised memorial for 'WILLIAM MELVILLE BORN 15 MARCH 1772 DIED AT MEGGINCH 21 JULY 1862/HAVING PASSED HALF A CENTURY IN INDUSTRIOUS EMPLOYMENT AT MEGGINCH HE DEPARTED THIS LIFE HONOURED AND LAMENTED BY HIS NUMEROUS FRIENDS', which was erected by J M Drummond of Megginch. An obelisk commemorates Reverend David Dow, who died in 1818, with the name of the sculptor 'D JACK' incised over a vermiculated plinth.

The graveyard is also marked by gatepiers and gates, which consist of pyramidally-coped, square-section ashlar gatepiers with decorative ironwork gates that open in two leaves.
