The gravestone of Philip Kennedy in Slains Kirkyard.
With many sea caves in the surrounding cliffs, and with small coves and shingle beaches, Collieston was excellent territory for smugglers. In the late 1700s it was estimated by the Excise that up to 8000 gallons of foreign spirits were being illegally landed in the area every month.
This all came to a head on 17 December 1798. Excisemen lying in wait surprised a group of smugglers unloading their barrels of spirit. In the skirmish that followed the most notorious of the smugglers, Phillip Kennedy, was felled by a blow from an exciseman's cutlass. He died shortly afterwards on a settle in the kitchen of Slains Farm, adjacent to the kirkyard.

St Ternan's well, Slains Parish Church Kirkyard, Collieston
The spring at the edge of Slains Kirkyard is known as St. Ternan's Well. There was once an iron cup chained to the wall which the parishioners used to take a suppie of water on their way to the kirk on a Sunday morning. As far as can be made out this disappeared shortly before the Second World War.
