Category: Park/Public Space

he Necropolis, Glasgow's stunning Victorian cemetery, was designed by the landscape gardener David Mylne and opened in 1833. It has many impressive monuments to the city's upper classes. The biggest of the monuments is the towering column and statue of John Knox (1513-72), the church reformer, (far left of picture) erected in 1825. The Necropolis is huge and needs a while to explore properly.
