This neo-classical mausoleum was built for Miss Elyza Fraser of Fraser Castle by her friend James Byres of Tonley, an internationally renowned architect. The drum-shaped mausoleum is topped by a dome with oculus and above the architraved doorway is a coat of arms and foliage swags, and the inscription: ELIZABETH FRASER OF CASTLE FRASER MDCCC VIII. The elaborate wrought iron grille is said locally to have been made from screens saved from the old church at Cluny, demolished in 1789. The mausoleum was completed in 1808, six years before Elyza’s death.

Beside the mausoleum are four mortsafes iron cages topped by massive slabs of granite. These enclosed the coffin in the grave to prevent grave robbing.

The mausoleum requires significant work to repair and funds are being raised for the purpose.
