Four sculptured stones leaning against the wall in a row, there is light coming through a wood and glass roof.

Admire the carvings on this collection of late-medieval sculptured stones, set in a churchyard burial aisle.

The Kilmodan Sculptured Stones comprise nine late-medieval West Highland grave slabs and one post-Reformation grave slab from 1636. An 11th stone was believed to be the head of the medieval Cross of Garvie, but is now thought to be a stone pillar worn to its present shape by its use as a tethering post. 

The stones all come from a graveyard surrounding St Modan’s Church in the village of Clachan of Glendaruel.

A long, circular brown stone is attached to a white wall. The top of the stone is pointed, and there are dark brown markings on part of it.
Two rectangle, tall sculptured stones lean against the wall, they have some faded engravings on them. There is also a stone sculpture hanging on the wall, with a pointed top and square base. Inbetween these there is an open door, which you can see grass outside and part of a graveyard.
