Description
The Graham of Gartmore Mausoleum, designed by architect William Stirling I of Dunblane around 1810, is a somber neo-classical structure with Gothic elements, located in the churchyard of Port of Menteith Parish Church. The mausoleum is a simple rectangular shape made of stugged ashlar, featuring a stone slabbed roof that has pediments on the east and west sides. It stands on a battered base of bullfaced masonry. The east entrance has an ogee arch, while the west side features a 2-light Gothic window that has been boarded up since 2004, both set within segmental arches. The mausoleum is positioned on the west side of the churchyard, with only the east gable inside the churchyard boundary, while its base is on the shore of Lake of Menteith.
Inside, the walls are lined with stone shelves that hold two lead coffins: one belonging to Anna Cunninghame-Graham of Gartmore, who died at the age of 29 on June 21, 1811, and the other to Sarah Eliza Dickson, also aged 29, who died on September 22, 1814. The interior features a vaulted stone ceiling and a studded timber door.
