Tour Scotland photograph of the church and graveyard cemetery in Meigle, Perthshire, Scotland. The present church dates to around 1870. It stands on the ancient site of a turf church erected by Columban missionaries around ad 606. Although many of the gravestones have eroded and become difficult or impossible to read through the ravages of time, careful observation and recording of historic gravestones can reveal much about past people and events. The churchyard contains a significant collection of carved 18th century gravestones, including a rare collection of chest tombs.
