history
The memorial was probably built in the first half of the 19th century. Presumably Evan John Murray MacGregor arranged the construction on the estate of Lanrick Castle , a seat of the MacGregors . In 2004 the monument was placed on the Register of Endangered Listed Buildings in Scotland. In 2008 his condition was classified as very bad and at the same time critical.
description
A tree is depicted on the family crest, which is why the memorial is modeled on a tree. The Lanrick Macgregor Monument shows a tree stump. This consists of unevenly processed layered masonry, which also shows allegedly sawed-off branch stumps. A round base plate with cornices rests on the stump . On top of this sits a rotunda with three Doric columns with pyramidal pedestals . The monument closes with an ornamented Doric dome.
