About this episode

This episode explores the history and significance of the Glasgow Necropolis, a Victorian cemetery in Scotland.

The Glasgow Necropolis is a Victorian cemetery in Glasgow, Scotland. It is on a low but very prominent hill to the east of Glasgow Cathedral (St Mungo's Cathedral). The cemetery is in an area bordered by the Townhead and Dennistoun districts to the north east of the modern city centre. Fifty thousand individuals have been buried here. Typical for the period, only a small percentage are named on monuments…and not every grave has a stone. Approximately 3,500 monuments exist here!!! https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=EI4eJgqRpZg&ra=m https://www.walkhighlands.co.uk/glasgow/necropolis.shtml https://www.myhighlands.de/en/glasgow-necropolis/ https://thelittlehouseofhorrors.com/glasgow-necropolis/ https://brocarde.com/glasgow-necropolis-ghosts-haunted-statues-and-the-legend-of-the-gorbals-vampire/ https://vocal.media/horror/the-real-haunted-story-of-glasgow-hotel
