Tour Scotland photograph of the old churchyard cemetery in Kirkmichael, Strathardle, Perthshire, Scotland. The name Kirkmichael means The Church of St Michael; the Gaelic name is Cill Mhìcheil. The village dates back to the first millennium. The Church of Scotland Kirk dates back to the 18th century and is built on a site used for worship for over one thousand years. It is surrounded by the original graveyard which contains graves dating back many centuries. The east end of the graveyard which does not have headstones or individual graves is the site of a mass burial plot for the victims of the Black Death plague of 1348 which has never been reopened.
