Erskine Cemetery, Montrose

The Erskine Cemetery, Montrose (Grounds of the House of Dun)

Visited August 2010

In the grounds of the House of Dun lies this little private cemetery. The House of Dun, now owned by the National Trust for Scotland, was built in the 18th century for the Erskine family and this was the burial ground for the house. The house itself is well worth a visit, as are the gardens, but do take a walk into the wider estate and find this little cemetery, hidden among the trees. Grave markers date mostly from the 18th & 19th centuries, and there are some wonderful carvings on them. Even on the busiest of days at the house, you're unlikely to be disturbed inside the walls of the cemetery.
