To the south of the 1805 kirk is the old kirkyard, which comes with a large and fascinating collection of old gravestones and the remnants of the Old Kirk of St Bride, the church that was replaced in 1805. Many of the standing gravestones are themselves interesting, but still more so are the lines of gravestones from the 1700s and early 1800s that have been laid around the steep-sided hill and, in places, reused as pavements. This may seem poor treatment of stones that will be regarded by future generations in much the way we regard Pictish symbol stones: but at least one side of each of the stones remains visible, and they have not simply been cleared away or destroyed as has all too often happened in other Scottish kirkyards.
