  • Wardlaw Mausoleum

    Wardlaw Mausoleum is a historic burial site closely linked to the Fraser clan. Built in 1634 by Lord Lovat, the mausoleum was originally intended as the final resting place for the Fraser family. The site is steeped in intrigue, with local legend suggesting that Simon Fraser, the notorious 11th Lord Lovat, familiarly known as the “Old Fox” and the last man to be publicly beheaded in Britain – may be secretly buried here rather than in the Tower of London. The mausoleum features an atmospheric crypt, beautifully carved stonework, and a peaceful churchyard, making it a fascinating stop for history enthusiasts. Today, Wardlaw Mausoleum remains an important part of Scotland’s Highland heritage, offering visitors a glimpse into the region’s past and the enduring legacy of the Fraser clan.
