Description
St Scholastica's Abbey cemetery building is a cemetery structure built around 1862, likely designed by George Goldie. It is constructed from squared limestone rubble, featuring freestone quoins, a plinth, dressings, and a lead roof. The building has a square plan topped with a semi-octagonal roof in the Gothic Revival style.
On the exterior, there is a moulded architrave above a pointed arch that frames double planked doors with strap hinges. This is set beneath a trefoil in a small gable that includes a pinnacle cross. The front quoins are weathered back approximately 1 meter above the plinth, creating the semi-octagonal shape of the roof. The roof itself has roll joints at the angles, small gablets above pierced trefoils on the front and sides, and an ornamental finial at the apex. The interior has not been inspected.
