Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: The Monteath Mausoleum This unusual structure in a domed Byzantine style stands 15m above the surrounding hillside on Gersit Law and is about 0.5km from the A68 road. It is the last resting place of General Sir Thomas Monteath Douglas, K.C.B. (1787-1868) of Stonebyres, Lanarkshire. He married the only surviving daughter of Sir William Monteath Scott of Ancrum. Sir Thomas spent most of his army career in India serving with the 35th Bengal Infantry for 40 years. Two recumbent stone lions are either side of the entrance elevation and the stone tomb inside is flanked at both ends by a tall sculpted angel. The building was completed before his death and a date of 1864 is inscribed on a corner stone. An inscription above the door reads:-
IN MEMORY OF GENERAL SIR THOMAS MONTEATH DOUGLAS K.C.B. OF STONEBYRES LANARKSHIRE WHO DIED XV111 OCTOBER MDCCCLXV111 The northeast wall is completely covered in ivy. |
