Key for the Mausoleum Crypt


To fully appreciate the Monteath Mausoleum you will want to see inside the Crypt where two huge angels guard the sarcophagus, and pale sunlight filters down through the stars in the roof.

A key for the massive oak doors is available from The Ancrum Pantry, Ancrum, TD8 6XH seven days a week. Hours vary, so call them on 01835 830259 or check their Facebook page  www.facebook.com/TheAncrumPantry  Ancrum is just off the A68 about three miles south of the mausoleum. Keys are also available from Lothian Estates Office, Bonjedward, TD8 6UF during normal office hours. There is a £5 fee plus a returnable deposit of £5. This income helps us to maintain the building.
