Invervar Graveyard (St Cunna's)

Cladh Chunna (St.Cunna's cemetery) at Invervar is a small burial ground in a field north of the road up Glen Lyon just before Invervar. All inscriptions are listed from a survey in October 1964 and are only those stones relating to pre-1855 (ie. before official registration of Deaths in Scotland.)

Note: The field containing the graveyard is actively in use and frequently contains livestock. If visiting please keep any dogs on a lead and close all gates.
