- About forty yards from Kiltartan church is the graveyard in which the dead of the parish are buried.
In the middle of the graveyard there is the ruins of an old church, known as St. Altiacta's church. It is now covered with ivy both on the outside and inside.
There are many graves in the old church. There are boards of coffins left beside the wall. Once a person lifted them up and immediately he got sick.
There are many old graves in the graveyard, but most of them are made of limestone and cement.
One head-stone dates back to a hundred and seventy-five years.
