Also known as Ecclesgreig Old Church and Burial Ground, St Cyrus

This old burial ground and church site lies at the foot of tall cliffs overlooking an extensive area of sand dunes and grassland, which is now a nature reserve. There is a long history of worship at this site, which may date back to the 9th century and the Picts.

The common name of the site, Ecclesgreig, is said to mean 'Church of Grig'. Grig was a 9th century ruler of the Picts and is widely credited with establishing a church here. He is also known as Ciric, which is where St Cyrus is derived.

Japanese statue of Sho-Haku, the pilgrim priest, in the gardens of Lotherton Hall. He carries a gourd and reads from the divine script.
