Strachan kirkyard
This is thought to be the site of a church dating from around 1242 but no trace remains although it was in use until around 1860 when the new parish kirk was built across the street. The ruin of what may be the former session house can be seen in the background. Compare Canmore record 359142: https://canmore.org.uk/site/359142/strachan .
