About this cemetery
The old churchyard at Kirkton in Bathgate, West Lothian, surrounds the ruins of the former Old Bathgate Parish Church, also known as Kirkton Kirk, on the A89 Edinburgh Road opposite Kirkton Park. The church site is recorded as dating to around 1160, when the site was granted. A new cemetery was laid out in 1860, and the churchyard holds the grave of a covenanter shot by a dragoon after a conventicle was dispersed.
