Excellent guided tour by Annette and another colleague, the tour was informative and funny teaching the history of the necropolis and Glasgow in a fascinating way. To think these people are volunteers is amazing but you can tell they really enjoy imparting their knowledge to others. Keep up the hard work. If you enjoy history this is a definite must but just wear sensible shoes as it can get a little uneven underfoot.

It may seem odd to visit a graveyard but this ranks with Pere Lachaise and Highgate as somewhere to visit. Some really ornate tombs and memorials, a column to John Knox. There are also great views over the Presbyterian cathedral and the city and surrounding countryside. Accessible from the sightseeing bus, other buses or a half hour walk from the city

Loved this Glasgow Necropolis (reminded me of Paris) took the hop on and off bus on a very wild windy day on way to Tennents Brewery tour and wasn't disappointed - such magnificence on a hill ! Would deffo recommend and hope to return on a calmer warmer day ! x

I visited this place as part of a walking city tour. this is right behind the cathedral and the Tennet beer brewery is nearby. There are a lot of interesting headstones to see and some very sombre epitaphs to read. I recommend spending about an hour walking here as many locals sems to use this place to jog/run.

I contacted the Necropolis non-profit to try and arrange a tour for my wife and I when we visited Edinburgh. I'm so glad that I did! Our guide, Claire, was outstanding. She knew all about the place, told us some amazing stories, and was our guide for almost an hour and a half walk through the city of the dead. We took several photos, but I won't upload them here since they won't do the place justice. When you reach the top of the Necropolis, you'll have a commanding view of the East End of Glasgow. Well worth it! It was one of the best tours we had on our vacation to Scotland, and I would highly recommend it to anyone!

Atmospheric, inspiring, intriguing site! I was shocked that the guidebooks I consulted didn't highlight the Necropolis more. Absolutely fascinating, with beautiful views. Don't miss the "Jewish enclosure" and beautiful little monument to William Wallace.

My Australian cousins were over for a visit and wanted to see Glasgow. They were blown away by the Necropolis. Having walked past and through it so many times you tend to forget how amazing it is until you see someone experience it for the first time.

Yes it’s “just” a cemetery when it comes down to it, but what a cemetery! Effectively a monument to the merchant class’ self-aggrandisement in the 19th century, it is a fascinating place to wander around and look at the variety of monuments of many shapes and sizes. There are also excellent views over the city. Don’t forget the very small Jewish section as well as the Wallace memorial. Our highlight, though, was seeing the tomb of the writer of the nursery rhyme “Wee Willy Winkie”!

Came here recently during my visit to Glasgow. It's situated right next to the cathedral, so easy to combine as one visit. It's a really impressive place, with lots of monuments on display. Well worth the walk from the city centre!

This place is amazing, unlike anything I've seen before. The massive "necropolis" sits high atop a hill, adjacent to the also massive Glasgow Cathedral. Glasgow's history is on display here, told through the thousands of graves, tombstones, mausoleums, and other monuments. It's actually a beautifully landscaped space, and quite peaceful to walk through.
