Inverkeilor Churchyard, Angus: Monumental Inscriptions

An almost complete listing for Inverkeilor kirkyard follows. Some 10 older stones are yet to be listed here. [M1], etc., indicate Mitchell's numbering. Uncertain readings are in parentheses, (); parentheses on the stones are replaced here by braces, {}; square brackets enclose editorial comments. [buried] means that the inscription is below ground.

This page does not list monuments in the modern cemetery/extension to the west of the kirkyard.

Several of the place-names on the monuments lie in adjacent parishes, and monuments in those parishes similarly mention places in Inverkeilor. People associated with Inverkeilor should therefore also be sought in Farnell, Friockheim, Kinnell, Kirkden, Lunan and St Vigeans.

Photographs

Photographs of any of the inscriptions listed below will be supplied on request by e-mail, insofar as I judge it possible to obtain them. The photos will be 2304 pixels by 1728 pixels, and approx. 850 kilobytes in size, taken in good lighting to show the inscriptions rather than the whole monuments. Please be prepared for a considerable delay in sending photos.

[p1521], etc., indicates that I already have a photo of the monument; the links on this page are to photos reduced in size to 576 x 432 pixels.

Note that most monuments are aligned with the kirk, i.e. roughly NW to SE, so the sun is off the main ("east") face quite early.
