A charitable company called Argyll Mausoleum Ltd has been set up to raise half a million pounds to rescue a Kilmun based mausoleum, last resting place of the Dukes of Argyll and chiefs of the Campbell clan. The site is said to have been cursed, threatening anyone who enters other than the Dukes with certain doom.
It is hoped that if the money can be raised, following restoration the building can be opened to the public. Then we can all be equally doomed!!! :)
