In 1886, Stirling Town Council agreed to pay the Crown Estate £310 for the purchase of just over three acres of land, comprising part of Gowan Hill next to Ballengeich Pass to provide a fifth cemetery extension for the town and Church of the Holy Rude. Rock was quarried and topsoil from gardens in Dumbarton Road was transported uphill to re-profile the cemetery.

The first internment was a labourer's wife from the Raploch on 11 June 1888. The cemetery has 58 Commonwealth war graves, many from the Argyll & Sutherland Highlanders who had their base at Stirling Castle.

To the east of the cemetery by the wall closest to town is an area of unmarked graves.
