Airth Old Parish Church, Medieval church ruins in Airth, Scotland
The stone structure features transitional-style arcades in its western section, with remaining walls displaying various architectural periods from the 12th century onwards.
Bishop Robert of St Andrews consecrated the church in the 1120s, and King David I granted it to Holyrood Abbey in 1128.
The graveyard contains cast iron mortsafes, large coffin-shaped containers from the early 19th century designed to prevent body snatching.
Access to the church grounds requires coordination with local authorities due to safety concerns regarding the structural condition of the ruins.
The 1647 tower, built at the intersection of Airth Aisle and eastern extension, includes four diminishing stages and a ground-floor entrance porch.
