Loch Lomond And Trossachs National Park Planning Authority

Circa 1820. 3-bay mausoleum with crowstepped gables and crypt to rear in fall of ground. Principal elevation to North with 2-leaf timber panelled door in pointed-arch architrave and 2-light cusped window above. Substantial buttresses with triangular-capped shoulders at angles and dividing bays. Blind pointed-arch windows to side elevations with uncarved shields below. Small bipartite window to S gable and timber-boarded doors to crypt. A good, and very well preserved example of an early 19th century mausoleum, occupying a relatively prominent position in the centre of Auchtubh.

Interior: arched stone recesses in tiers of 3: 3 bays along side walls and 1 bay at end wall. Some recesses plastered over and marked with memorial stones. The earliest memorial is dated 1822 and is decorated with cherub heads.

Materials: random rubble with polished ashlar dressings. Stone-slabbed roof.

Boundary Wall, Gates and Gatepiers: curved random rubble boundary wall with central entrance to N: square ashlar gatepiers with domed rubble caps; 2-leaf, spear-headed, cast-iron gates.
