View of the Shevock
The burn that runs through Insch has the unusual name of the Shevock and joins the River Urie a few km to the east. A footbridge now crosses it to access new housing developments to the south of the burn. According to Celtic Placenames in Aberdeenshire by John Milne, 'shevock' means 'placid little burn'.

Radulfus stone, Insch
The grave-slab was found buried in the kirkyard in the 19th Century. The very worn inscription to Radulfus, a 12th Century priest, can just be discerned. For more, see Epitaphs and Inscriptions from Burial Grounds and Old Buildings... by Alexander Jervise, vol. 1. p. 20 (available as a free download from archive.org).

Insch old kirk
Only the gable end and bellcote remain of the kirk remain, probably built in 1769. The fine renaissance bellcote (dated 1613) must come from an earlier church on the same site. The kirk fell into ruin after the replacement church on Western Road was built in 1883. C-listed (LB9065): http://portal.historicenvironment.scot/designation/LB9065 .
