Lych Gate, St Mary's Church, Main Street, Rutherglen, Glasgow

The Lych Gate at St Mary's Church in Rutherglen, Glasgow, is situated in a churchyard that occupies an ancient site, now enclosed on three sides by streets and the Town Hall to the east. The current parish church is located to the west, along with a tower and remnants of earlier buildings, which are listed separately. The enclosure walls are made of rubble and ashlar, with some sections featuring iron railings. The western part of the enclosure was re-formed as part of J J Burnet's rebuilding of the parish church between 1900 and 1902.

The Kirk Port leading to Main Street, dated 1663, closely resembles the main entrance at Kinneil House from 1667, showcasing an early example in Scotland of a classical lugged architrave. Notably, the jambs of the archway are stepped outwards, creating a wider spacing below the door-head. The structure features a segmental pediment, supported by consoles at the front and sides, similar to those at Kinneil. Above the gateway, there is a sundial dated 1679, crafted by James Thompson. Inside the gateway, steps are flanked by a pair of identical offertory stone shelters, one of which has the date 1761 inscribed in its pedimented gable. The headstones within the churchyard predominantly date from the 18th and 19th centuries. The gateways leading to Queen Street to the west were designed by Burnet.
