It was demolished after a fire in 1985. Its ‘footprint’ and some inscribed stones remain, along with some interesting early gravestones in the kirkyard. The Erskine family, cousins of the Earls of Mar, had a burial vault beneath the church and there is a plaque in memory of Dr Robert Erskine (1677-1718), who was Chief Physician to Tzar Peter the Great.</p><p>The Johnstone Mausoleum was designed by Robert and James Adam for John Johnstone (1734–1795), who bought the Alva estate from James Erskine, Lord Alva, in 1775. Johnstone built the mausoleum c1790, following the death of his wife. Columns of the Greek Doric order flank the entrance, supporting a triangular pediment. It is one of only four Adam mausolea in Scotland. Johnstone, his wife and six of their descendants are buried in the original mausoleum: an eastern extension was added in the 19th century to accommodate additional burials. The mausoleum, which is owned by Clackmannanshire Heritage Trust, has been restored and a glass roof has replaced the pitched roof of the 19th century extension.</p><p>The Old Kirkyard was restored as part of the Historic Kirkyards Trail project of the Ochils Landscape Partnership programme.</p> Mausoleum: 1790 Museum 967 current,56.15561,-3.792686; Loan Side Alva 11438 No Robert and James Adam Ochil Road 28/9/2019 29/9/2019 Guided tours at 2 pm and 3 pm Guided tours at 2 pm and 3 pm <p>Guided tours at 2 pm and 3 pm</p><p>Kirkyard is partly accessible to visitors with mobility difficulties.</p> No No No No No Yes No No No Yes FK12 5JT
