Doors open at the Cambo Mausoleum. Explore the designed landscape of Cambo starting at the Cambo Mausoleum and discover some of the stories of the Erskine family who have made Cambo their home for over 300 years.
Drop into the mausoleum between 11am and 3pm and meet our guides who will share some Cambo stories with you. Follow the signs from the car park – the mausoleum sits up the track on the right hand exit from the car park at the back.
The designed landscape at Cambo dates from the late 18th and early 19th centuries, and is attributed to Thomas Erskine, 9th Earl of Kellie (1745-1828). The 9th Earl had been a successful merchant in Sweden and on returning to Cambo in the 1790s set about improving the estate by extending the old Cambo House, enclosing the farmland, and creating pleasure walks and gardens. The site includes structures traditionally associated with the policies of a country house, such as the mausoleum, stables, walled garden, dovecote and lodges, and six cast- and wrought-iron bridges which span the burn and two model farms. |
