A key for the crypt

The Friends do not hold a key to the mausoleum directly. To step inside and see the sculpted angels, the sarcophagus and the star-studded dome for yourself, you will need to borrow a key from one of three local places.

Visiting Questions

Before you go

  • Yes. The mausoleum and its grounds are open every day of the year on foot. Walkers, cyclists and horse riders are welcome without booking. Vehicle access is on Open Days only.

  • No. Entry is free. A key to the crypt costs £5 plus a £5 refundable deposit, available from three local outlets nearby.

  • The oak doors are kept locked when a Visitor Guide is not on site. Borrow a key from The Ancrum Pantry in Ancrum village, the LilliardsEdge Holiday Park shop, or the Lothian Estates Office at Bonjedward.

  • On Open Days, a car park is open at the mausoleum from 10am to 4pm. On other days, park at the lay-by on the A68 and follow the farm track up through the woodland - about a ten minute walk.

Everything else you need for your visit is on the Visit page.
