Hamilton Mausoleum

South Lanarkshire

In Person

Easily one of Lanarkshire’s most striking historic buildings, Hamilton Mausoleum was one of the finest private tombs in the country. Standing at 36.5m (120ft) high, its scale hints at the lost landscape and grandeur of Hamilton Palace and Estate.

The Chapel of Hamilton Mausoleum will be open to the public. At certain points throughout the day, a selection of performers will demonstrate the stunning echo with music and song. 

The Crypt of Hamilton Mausoleum will remain closed and access to the lower level of the monument will be restricted.

Additional Access Information

The Crypt of Hamilton Mausoleum will remain closed and access to the lower level of the monument will be restricted.

Unfortunately, the historic Hamilton Mausoleum is not an accessible monument. Visitors should take care on all surrounding pathways as some are damaged and uneven. The split-level layout of the monument is not immediately obvious and the area above the crypt, hides a significant drop. Particular care should be taken when within the grounds of the monument and all children must be accompanied by a responsible adult.
