Irvine Old Parish Churchyard | Virtual Tour 2020

Irvine, Ayrshire resident and historian, Billy Kerr, takes us on a tour of the Irvine Old Parish Churchyard and recounts tales from bygone eras.

From the infamous tale of local body snatchers, to the epitaphs that influenced and inspired a young Edgar Allan Poe, Billy unearths the history surrounding six gravestones, only scratching the surface of the stories within the churchyard waiting to be told.

Hosted by Billy Kerr
Filmed and Edited by Kris Ballantyne
