It is the ideal place for a discovery like a group of urban explorers did: a hidden pantheon in a lush forest, in the middle of nowhere. The funerary monument, with a neo-Gothic appearance typical of British Victorian architecture, would date from the second half of the 19th century, judging by the data of a large sarcophagus inside, which contains a coffin. iron that supposedly housed the remains of William Dun, born on July 22, 1792 and died on May 5, 1861.

In the comments of the video, a reader points out that the Willian Dun whose remains rest in that pantheon would have been a mathematician and minister of the Church of Scotland, who was in charge of several parishes and did mathematical studies of some relevance for its time. It is very difficult to find information about him. It is sad to see the state of abandonment of this pantheon and the oblivion into which that person has fallen. Otherwise, this place is ideal for a horror movie:

You can see some screenshots of the video here. This is the front part of the pantheon, which is surrounded by a wall with a metal fence.

On both sides of the entrance to the pantheon there are plaques with texts that on one of them are already difficult to read due to the humidity. This one is on the left, and shows verses that talk about death, the soul, spirits and the mystery of life.
