Description

Ornamental building built in second half of 18th century and

known as the Kellie Mausoleum, with 2 recumbent memorial

slabs lying at front (S), the earlier a memorial to the 7th

Earl of Kellie, who died in 1797; but he is said to be buried

abroad and the building may originally have been an

eyecatcher or folly (ie not necessarily built circa 1797). Rectangular-plan with monopitch roof, south front with blind

(?blocked) gothic window central (possibly an insertion);

entrance door in west flank (original use of interior is

uncertain). Rubble-built, squared dressings, ashlar window,

slate roof.

Statement of Interest

The second recumbent slab is a memorial to Lady Anne Erskine,

sister of the 7th Earl.

Category C(S) only for neglected condition.

Possibly a conversion from a dovecot.
