Kirkoswald Old Church This church dates back to 1244 and according to legend is the site where St Oswald fought a great battle in 634 A.D. and built a chapel in celebration of his victory. The churchyard contains some very interesting gravestones, including a memorial to Robert Burns' mother's people, and gravestones for the real people who inspired the main characters in Robert Burns' poem 'Tam O' Shanter'.
