William Dun (1792-1861) was a Scottish minister and mathematician. Born on July 22, 1792, in Scotland, he became known for his contributions to the Church of Scotland and his work in mathematics. Dun served as a minister in various parishes and was noted for his scholarly pursuits, including mathematical research and education. He passed away on May 5, 1861. His contributions, particularly in mathematics, were significant during his time, though detailed specifics about his works may require further historical research.

This is a great find ! I managed to find pics of Craigton House which was built by William Dun in 1860 but sadly demolished in 1946. It seems he was a local land owner but I haven't found any info on the symbols on his tomb. What an interesting mystery, thanks to you both .

The hand holding the key is the Dun family crest. Their motto is Mecum habita which means Dwell with me. The Dun-Waters family eventually moved to England and settled in the Okanagan, British Columbia. There is a Fintry blog from October, 2022 that explains a bit about the family. In the blog, the writer states: This estate was owned in the 18th century by William Dun, J.C. Dun-Waters’ father. He built a castle (Craigton House)…….. with extensive stables but never lived in it, preferring to live closer to the village in a smaller house. The castle has since been demolished and the stables now converted into a beautiful house in which (an) eccentric gentleman lives with his five cocker spaniels.

Its mad that somebody who was so important has been totally forgotten 🙁

What a stunning place, Dale and Lisa! Not to mention the age of it - thanks for sharing another amazing find!

[emeraldfox]

The fact that the floor lid to that grave was open, means someone other than yourself has explored there before, sad state of decay and forgotten

[russellhummel]

This crypt is incredible!! Such brilliant attention to every detail in it's making! I really hope this site is preserved.

Hello from the USA, Escapade! I found that William Dun's family, now collectively known as the Waters-Dun family, ultimately sold the estate that the Dun Tomb is on and moved to Canada, settling in British Columbia. The estate that Dun built but never lived in was sold but still never lived in. I have no idea why. It ultimately fell into disrepair and was demolished. The current owner of the land restored the old barn of the estate as a house and now lives there. It is private property. The family that moved to Canada built an estate there now known as The Fintry Estate National Park. They named it after the town of Fintry that William Dun grew up in and served as minister. Fintry remains the closest place to the tomb. The Estate publishes a letter, called The Octagon. Its November, 2022 letter describes in detail visiting the tomb and Fintry, so that may have been the last time it was seen before you guys went in. They may know more about Dun there if you wish to find out.
The tomb building itself was originally a small church on the estate but, like the estate, fell into disrepair. When William died, it became his tomb, along with his family. It was renovated in the late 1800s-early 1900s. That's all I could find. Y'all take care!

The Macdonald family became tenants of Craigton, also known as Craighouse or Castle Craig, in 1762. The final Macdonald in Craigton, the retired Donald Macdonald, died in 1900.
This might be relevant?! They were clearly a very well off family to have such a crypt, great explore, thanks for sharing, Dale and Lisa xx

James Coltard Waters- married Mary Susan ShAnd Waters 1852 at Glasgow. She died in 1857 aged 30 in Dorset. James born 1828 in Craigton Stirling. His mother was Janet Dunn. The chap in the tomb must be his father.

Doesn't scottland have an historical society to preserve such a magneficent tomb and its history it's amazing someone could include this on a tour for history buffs what a shame its been let go

[sharonbaulch]

Amazing tour. The tomb etc had amazingly beautifully crafted iron work. Its a shame his descendants have lost contact with such a famous ancestor, and i pray they go and tidy it up at least once and re-secure his final resting place so he can rest in peace ❤

[markmaynard]
