Description
Rubble stone walls with rounded cope and with gatepiers at the west end probably dating from 1734 and designed by Robert Henderson and Charles Bachop, masons of Stirling, enclose the graveyard. The gatepiers are constructed of alternately plain and fluted blocks and have moulded cornices and ball finials. The kirkyard contains a range of gravestones dating from the 17th century onwards. There are two stones of mediaeval date: the first, located on the south side of the choir has a cross with wedge-shaped arms and a hollowed centre incised on each side and intials on the upper surface, probably added at a later date when the stone was re-used; the other stone, located northwest of the corner of the choir has a small incised cross carved on one side, but has also probably been cut down, reused and relocated after the Reformation. The Auchenbowie burial enclosure, immediately west of the tower has convex rusticated entrance piers which were designed by Henderson and Bachop as specified in the contract for the building.
