This is the oldest known grave at Kirkliston Parish Church dated 1525.
The parish of Kirkliston has its origins in the late 12th century when a church was established on this site overlooking the River Almond. Although Kirkliston Parish Church has been remodelled over time, it retains some of the earliest fabric, dating from around 1200, including the former south doorway which is often compared to the west doorway of Holyrood Abbey.
