From the Wikipedia article
The Bullough Mausoleum stands near the depopulated village of Harris on the island of Rùm, one of the Small Isles off the west coast of Scotland. It was built in around 1901 by Sir George Bullough, a textile tycoon from Lancashire, as a resting place for his father, and as a family mausoleum.
