The Monteath Mausoleum in the Necropolis in Glasgow. Dating from the mid-1800s, it was designed by David Cousin and was based on the Knights Templar Church of the Holy Sepulchre.

An early morning view from the Necropolis across to the buildings of the Glasgow Royal Infirmary. While the Necropolis first opened in 1833, the hospital has been based on this site since the 1790s.

Since it opened in 1833, around 50,000 people have been interred within its boundaries, but there are only around 3,500 grave momuments, so this represents most of those who are buried here.

It would occasionally bark three times, and if you didn't reach a place of safety by the third bark you would die of fright.

Built in the 1830s, for many Glaswegians it marked the final journey from the city of the living across Bridge of Sighs over the Moledinar Ravine to the city of the dead.

When visiting the Necropolis, it's easy to focus on the ornate monuments created for the upper echelons of Glasgow society set on the top of the hill and forget that this was a burial place for all.

MacKenzie, a cabinetmaker and upholsterer, was a founding partner in the Sun Foundry and was its primary financier when it was created by George Smith in 1858, which may explain why he was given quite such an ornate cast iron memorial.
