Located near the medieval cathedral in Glasgow the Necropolis covers some 37 acres. It is said that some 50,000 individuals have been buried here although not all have stones marking their locations, there are something on the order of 3,500 monuments.
Billy Connolly, a Glasgow native, once said:
"Glasgow's a bit like Nashville, Tennessee: it doesn't care much for the living, but it really looks after the dead."
