Description
The churchyard of St Ninian's Old Parish Church in Stirling features rubble stone walls with a rounded cope and gatepiers at the west end, likely dating from 1734 and designed by local masons Robert Henderson and Charles Bachop. The gatepiers are made from alternating plain and fluted blocks and include moulded cornices and ball finials. Within the graveyard, there is a collection of gravestones that date from the 17th century onwards. Among these, there are two stones from the medieval period: one on the south side of the choir displays a cross with wedge-shaped arms and a hollowed centre, with initials on the upper surface likely added later when the stone was reused. The second stone, located northwest of the choir's corner, features a small incised cross on one side and appears to have been cut down, reused, and relocated after the Reformation. Additionally, the Auchenbowie burial enclosure, situated immediately west of the tower, has convex rusticated entrance piers designed by Henderson and Bachop as per the building contract.
