Kirkyard work to continue
The latest phase in an award-winning project aimed at preserving historic kirkyards across Aberdeenshire was approved by councillors yesterday.The Historic Kirkyards project run by the local authority is working to bring life to areas deemed to be nationally significant in terms of cultural heritage.
Kirkyards across the shire, including 15 parishes in the Kincardine and Mearns area, were surveyed when the project started in 1998.
Since then, restoration work has already been completed at Banff, Fetteresso, Auchenblae and Aboyne, among others.
The next round of the project, phase four, includes work to Aberluthnott Parish Kirk, at Marykirk, as well as St Talorgan's Old Kirk, at Fordyce.
