Description Outside the church of the Holy Rude in Stirling, Scotland is the Valley Cemetery. In past times it was the site of jousting tournaments and markets. The Cemetery has a Pyramid, built by William Drummond in 1863.
This area was laid out as a public pleasure ground by local nurseryman and evangelist, William Drummond. The Star Pyramid, with its texts and emblems, was nearing completion in April 1863, when a bible and the Confession of faith were sealed into a chamber within the structure. It recalls the principles of the Reformation and publicised the famous Drummond Tract Enterprises.
