Thought to date from about 1824 and B-listed: http://data.historic-scotland.gov.uk/pls/htmldb/f?p=2200:15:0::::BUILDING:20060 , when the commercial cemetery was set up by the Moir of Scotstoun family: their rather ominous skull and cross bones crest still adorns the iron gates. The round nodule things on the corners of the roof are called acroters.
