- Lady Mary's Wood And Abandoned Mausoleum 29/11/2021
The wood is named after Lady Mary Lindsay Crawford (died 1833), daughter of George 21st earl of Crawford. On the death of her father in 1781, her brother George became earl. On his death, without issue, in 1808, the title became dormant (being later confirmed in 1848 to James 7th earl of Balcarres KCQ), while Lady Mary inherited Crawford Lodge, the house which her father had had built in 1758 in the north-west corner of CLT, as well as the estate of Struthers CER (Millar 1895 i, 193). She immediately set about extending Crawford Lodge, converting it into the famous, but now greatly delapidated, Crawford Priory, the ‘light late Georgian castellated-cum-Gothick [house] with high-minded Victorian additions’ (Gifford 1988, 140). Millar describes her as an independent woman who flaunted convention and scandalised society, or as Millar puts it, ‘the untrammelled freedom of her conduct frequently brought her under the condemnation of more precise but less vigorous minds; and baseless scandals were uttered regarding her, even in the most elevated of circles, by those to whom the “strong-minded female” was yet a phenomenon’ (Millar 1895 i, 193).[59] She never married, and was devoted to animals. On her death she was buried with her father and brother in the family mausoleum on Crawford Priory lands which had been built by her father c.1760. This is the Tomb marked on OS Pathf. at NO356103. It is testimony to the character and achievements of Lady Mary that the wood in which the mausoleum stands came to bear her name. This wood is marked but not named on OS 6 inch 1st edn, with the den immediately east of the tomb called Tomb Den.
Great footage walking up to The Mausoleum Kenny and fascinating history. I felt quite sad watching that. Cheers. Stoozer. 🤠

Hi Caroline thanks 👍
Such a shame it's got like that looks amazing 👍👍
Hi George it is a shame I was there about 5 years ago and it has got a lot worse since then
Where is this place? This is a disgrace it should be looked after,cleaned up,and restored,would be a good idea,if someone got a preservation society going,get some money together,and get this place looking,respectable again,I would be more than happy to contribute.
Yes it's a shame the state of the building it's near cupar in Fife
@@Valhalla764 ok,thank you for the info.
Hats a decent camera you are using mate or are you just holding your drone?ha
Hi Frankie it's a Gopro 👍
Hi Valhalla. My name is Mark from a small independent film platform based in Fife. We are a non-profit organization and would be grateful of permission to use excerpts of your film. For further information, please don't hesitate to respond. Thank you
Hi Mark sure thing you can use any footage you want 👍
@@Valhalla764 Gosh, it hit a wrong thumb lol. Thank you very, very much. This is not a horror persay but rather a spooky reflection on human depravation to graves. It's about Lady Mary herself. Her ghost wards people off by a slogan I coined, "Only the warm if heart are welcome", which will be in the film. She is not portrayed as evil in this production but rather quite the opposite. Crawford Priory is also tied in to location. As a token gesture, I saw your camera work is good and welcome you to assist with production if you like with our small team of nice people from amateur dramatics. Or even just to come along and say hi. Thanks again and good day to you sir. You have a warm heart.
@@openhouseproductions I have been back to the mosalum I got inside a couple of videos back take a look the coffins are all open and the bones are in the coffins and the skull
@@Valhalla764 I saw it. It's awful. I will let you know when productions begins if you like.
@@openhouseproductions yes do that I would like to know that 👍
