| Parked at Lilliardsedge Park cafe carpark near entrance, the rest is barriered with number plate recognition. Walked NW parallel to A68 to signed path, then easy up track to Gersit Law Hill top and Mausoleum.Back same way. 2.5km and great views once out of holiday park. | Lynnebe | 30/03/2024 |
| A guide had opened the mausoleum for a couple of visitors when I arrived so I got to see inside. A very impressive structure. | hillsman | 12/09/2023 |
| From the A68, diagonally across the field to the mast (being worked on) and along a whinstone road to the mausoleum. | fasgadh | 21/03/2023 |
| Space for one car at NT 615 272 0n the A68.About 60 metres or so back down the road on the verge to the start of the path.Worth a visit for the mausoleum. | ARM | 18/03/2023 |
| With Mum, Dad and Luna. Key available from Lothian Estates office. | BigNick | 17/05/2022 |
| Drove into holiday park, parked very close to the track signed for the mausoleum in an, as yet, unmapped extension to the park (NT 6162 2706). | jonglew | 13/04/2022 |

| Easy parking the holiday park. A path starts in the top right hand corner of the park, from there straight to the mausoleum. | Andrew Simmons | 19/11/2020 |
| Parked in Lilliardsedge caravan park car park - drive in, right and right again - no problems. Path thru' wood starts at NT 6167 2700 but currently spoiled by park extension works. No problem on a Sunday but may be stopped during working hours. The monument is magnificent and has 48 glazed stars in its roof - very impressive and a TuMP well worth a visit | carole engel | 12/07/2020 |
| Easy walk up to splendid domed mausoleum which ex India military top brass , Sir Thomas Monteith Douglas (1798-1868), had built for himself, close to the site of Ancrum Moor battle 1545. Somewhat incongruous sleeping lions and star studded roof . Under restoration, nearly complete? Ground is disturbed so hard to say where natural HP is. | Denise | 21/01/2019 |
| Track from the A68. Mausoleum currently closed for renovation. Entrance guaded by sleeping lions. I thought the natural high point was more the N side of the track than the built up ground around the mausoleum. | RichardM | 21/01/2019 |
| Parking: On A68 NT 60326 29062. Route: Followed St Cuthbert's way to Lilliards stone then SW heading towards the Monteath mausoleum. | David Evans | 14/09/2017 |
| There's a well-used and signposted path through the woods parallel to the A68 from the caravan site. Bit obscure to start with. Avoids parking issues/walking up the A68. | maknipe | 29/04/2015 |
| P at layby nr holiday park. Walked up road then track to the mausoleum. Back by path through tress to H P. | chrisbien | 16/06/2013 |
| From east along track, parking a bit sketchy but no other option apparent. Mausoleum much larger than I'd realised. | agentmancuso | 05/07/2012 |
