St Walloch's Bath, a cavity in the rock, 3-4 ft deep, is supplied by a small spring running into it from the east brae. It is said to have had healing properties. Walla' Pot is described as a pool in the river which, like Walloch's Bath, was used as a bathing place for curing people. Rubble-built enclosure with wall steps. Some 18th century stones, mostly modern. Plain square enclosure of Gordons of Wardhouse and Beldorney restored by Rafael Gordon 1913. Within the graveyard is the Commonwealth War Grave for Captain Edward Dangerfield H. M. S. Victory, Royal Navy (d. 03/01/1941). Walla Kirk ceased to be a parish 1598.
