It was on this site that William Wallace was named as Guardian following his victory at Stirling Bridge in 1297. The kirk in the picture was completed in 1747 to replace the pre-Reformation building but fell into ruin after it was abandoned in 1861. Some of the maternal ancestors of Franklin D Roosevelt are buried in the graveyard.
