Scope and Content Neilson Mausoleum, Tongland Churchyard, Stewartry of Kirkcudbright, Kirkcudbrightshire This small granite mausoleum is the resting-place of two of Scotland's greatest 19th century industrial figures: James Beaumont Neilson, inventor of the hot-blast process for iron smelting, and Walter Montgomerie Neilson, his son. The interior includes busts of JB Neilson (died 1865), his wife Barbara, died 1843, and WM Neilson, died 1889. These stand on the floor of the mausoleum. Walter Montgomerie Neilson was the prime mover in Neilson and Co, locomotive builders, Glasgow, which in 1903 became part of the North British Locomotive Co Ltd, the largest firm of private locomotive builders in Europe. The bust was sculpted by Brodie and the building possibly designed by Frederick Pilkington. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
