Callendar House Servants’ Graveyard

In 1866 a burial was placed in the south-east corner of the outer enclosure of the walled garden on the Callendar Estate and by 1950 there were six small granite crosses and a couple of headstones in this cemetery.  In 1964 the bodies were exhumed in advance of construction work for the College of Education and the remains were reinterred at Camelon Cemetery.  The grave markers were moved into the enclosure at the mausoleum.  In recent years that have been heavily vandalised and few can now be read.
