a very interesting and remarkably picturesque series of monumental
slabs, with a quantity of well-executed lettering. One of these tablets
is to the memory of a member of the family of Barclay of Towie, of date
1636, with a Latin inscription still legible.
The churchyard contains a number of interesting monuments of the same
date as the belfry.
The gateway to the churchyard (Fig. 1606) is a simple but pleasing
specimen of the early Scottish Renaissance, similar in style to the
belfry.
