Monteath Mausoleum, Victorian mausoleum in Scottish Borders, Scotland.
The Monteath Mausoleum features a domed roof with 48 green glass stars and stands on Gersit Law, visible from the A68 road north of Jedburgh.
Built in 1864 for General Sir Thomas Monteath Douglas, the mausoleum overlooks the Battle of Ancrum Moor site from 1545 and underwent restoration in 2019.
The Edinburgh architecture firm Peddie & Kinnear designed this sandstone structure with elements similar to those found in Dundas House in Edinburgh.
Visitors can obtain a key to enter the crypt, and the site offers guided tours during summer weekends with designated parking spaces nearby.
Two stone lions guard the entrance, with one alert and one sleeping, while inside two carved angels stand next to the sarcophagus under green-filtered light.
