  • Hamilton Mausoleum — Cellpic Sunday

    Hamilton Mausoleum — Cellpic Sunday

    Hi All 👋 This is my latest post for John’s Cellpic Sunday.

    This huge mausoleum was built in the mid-1800s for Alexander, 10th Duke of Hamilton, but was unfinished at the time of his death in 1852. Owing to the size of the structure & its dome (120ft high), it has a 15-second echo… one of the longest in the world
