A walk around the outside is not to be missed with several good monuments including a flamboyant armorial to George Melville, 1678, and a primitive extravaganza, the Balfluig Monument (Mary Forbes Tomb, 1725) with squat supporting figures, winged “putto” and “memento mori” skeleton below.<br /><br />The graveyard contains the graves of early botanist John Duncan and poet Charles Murray.
