Tour Scotland Video Graveyard Parish Church Glenorchy Argyll



Tour Scotland Autumn travel video of the graveyard cemetery of Glenorchy Parish Church by Dalmally. The churchyard was the burying place of the Macgregors. Also in the church's burial ground are late medieval grave slabs that are embellished with figures of armed warriors that are said to have been brought from Inishail. The present church was constructed in 1811. It was designed by James Elliot of Edinburgh; in 1860, the older church was still standing in the vicinity of the newer one. Although it was 15 miles away, it was the closest church to Duncan Ban MacIntyre, the Scottish Gaelic poet.
