The principal settlement is the village of Evanton, and the parish extends almost to Dingwall and about halfway to Alness. The old Kiltearn church and burial ground are on the shore of the Cromarty Firth. The church is ruinous but dates from 1790.[2] The current church (Free Church Continuing) is on the main street in Evanton.
Kiltearn Parish Church
Kiltearn Old Parish Church, now a ruin, dates back to 1227 and is the historic burial place of the Munros.[3]
The 16th century churchman Donald Munro was buried in Kiltearn, "a little to the east of the burial ground of the family of Foulis", although the grave is not marked.[11]
The controversial minister Thomas Hog (d.1692) is also buried here. He was deposed from the parish in 1661, before returning from exile in 1688.
