The burial ground entrance




This is the entrance to the burial ground. Remaining jambs suggest there was a door at one point.

Gravestones crowd the front of the entrance now, you have to actually stand on them to get into the burial aisle. This shows a form of social exclusion, the graves outside the burial aisle did not belong to members of the MacDougall family so therefore were not allowed to be buried within the burial ground. They did do their best to get as close as possible to the hallowed ground though!
