Originally known as the Dalry Necropolis, a property of the Metropolitan Cemetery Association, who bought the six acres of land from the Walker family of Dalry House. A Mausoleum or Funerary Chapel is shown to SE of the catacombs on some plans, but was never built. General Sir Neil Douglas (C-in-C Scotland) and Sir Alexander Burns (distinguished traveller) are buried here. There is a lodge listed separately.
