WALK - Historical Meander around the Southern Necropolis

A historical mental meander through some of the lairs of the Gorbals' very own "City of the Dead". Join the Happy Reaper and visit the graves of characters including Sir Thomas Lipton and Alexander "Greek" Thomson.

The Southern Necropolis was opened in 1840 and is the final resting place of approximately 250,000 contributors to Glasgow`s rich historical legacy. Built on land once owned by Oatlands Merchant William Gilmour, the cemetery stands as a unique window on time into the social history of our fair city.

Children

There will be Southern Necropolis Tally Sheets available on the day, for our younger historians to complete on their way around the cemetery. There is also a find the Gorbals Vampire challenge!
