An early morning view from the Necropolis across to the buildings of the Glasgow Royal Infirmary. While the Necropolis first opened in 1833, the hospital has been based on this site since the 1790s.

Built in the 1830s, for many Glaswegians it marked the final journey from the city of the living across Bridge of Sighs over the Moledinar Ravine to the city of the dead.

in a country where it rains and snows all the time, there was an hour of sunshine today during our visit to #GlasgowNecropolis.
one hour Scotland, I needed one hour of your default gloomy weather with rain and darkness. result: cheery photos in a gothic cemetery 🙄

Opened in the 1840s, it marked a shift in burial practices in the growing city from people being interred in small burial grounds surrounding local churches to the use of large centralised cemeteries.

Love the detail on the grave monument for the theatre impresario John Henry Alexander in the Glasgow Necropolis, especially the rather wind-blown foliate green man.

In total, there are about 3,500 grave markers in the Necropolis, but around 50,000 people were buried here, so the majority lie in unmarked common graves like this one.

When visiting the Necropolis, it's easy to focus on the ornate monuments created for the upper echelons of Glasgow society set on the top of the hill and forget that this was a burial place for all.

Love this flower memorial which is being created in the Necropolis, Glasgow's main Victorian cemetery. It marks a common grave where 8,094 people were interred.
