    Tips

    April 8, 2025

    In a corner of Kirkmichael Parish churchyard, there are no marked graves, despite the limited space, due to the aftermath of the Black Death, or Galor Mor, that struck the glen in 1350. Victims of the plague were buried in unmarked graves in this area. To combat the epidemic, the Bishop of Dunkeld visited surrounding parishes, distributing consecrated items, including water infused with the bones of St. Columba. He proclaimed that those who drank the water would survive, while those who refused would perish, and that the bones of the victims would retain the disease. As a result, the burial site remains undisturbed, preserving the eerie history of the area.
