For the Glasgow Doors Open Day Festival, The Friends of Glasgow Necropolis will be offering several guided tours where you can explore and learn about one of Glasgow's most impressive and historic necropolises.
Overview
The Glasgow Necropolis is a 37 acre garden cemetery (the first in Scotland), which has more than 50,000 people interred within its gates.
The Friends of Glasgow Necropolis organise guided walking tours of this 37 acre cemetery full of wonderful architecture, sculptures and fascinating stories relating to the 50,000 people remembered here.
As a charity, donations we receive from our tours are used for restoration work. We are always looking for new information – please contact us chair@glasgownecropolis.org if you can contribute to our website.
We are particularly keen to hear from descendants of the ‘incumbents’ that can provide profiles of those buried here.
