On the Grid : Necropolis
"The Glasgow Necropolis is a Victorian, multi-faith cemetery and holds over 50,000 bodies. Entering over the Bridge of Sighs, the Necropolis is Glasgow's version of the famous Paris cemetery, Père Lachaise. Burials date back as early as 1832 and architect, Alexander 'The Greek' Thomson and Charles Rennie Mackintosh are among famous names to have designed stones. The graveyard is more interesting than creepy (dependent on time of the day) and panoramic views of the city are seen when stood under the giant John Knox statue on the main hill. Good pub stops including Drygate (see other post) are a short distance walk from here." - Kenna
