The Mausoleum, now in ruins, was a chapel erected in 1829 on the site of an earlier chapel and burial grounds dating back to 1523 when it was created by Sir Colin Campbell, 3d Lord of Glenorchy. It is adjacent to and East of Finlarig Castle, which also is in ruins. The Castle is of ancient origin, but bears a stone dated 1629. The Castle and burial grounds are on a peninsula near Loch Tay, roughly 1 kilometer north of the town of Killin. See: www.britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/sc-8286-breadalbane-mausoleum-killin/osmap
Rev. Wm. Gillies wrote: "Assured that the Campbells of Glenorchy had obtained a firm foothold in Breadalbane ... Sir Colin erected a burial chapel at Finlarig 'to be ane burial for himself and his posteritie.' The present mausoleum of the Breadalbane family is on the site of Sir Colin's chapel." William A. Gillies, In Famed Breadalbane, p. 119 (Perth; Munro Press: 1938).
