Fifty thousand individuals have been buried here. Typically for the period only a small percentage are named on monuments and not every grave has a stone. Approximately 3500 monuments exist here.
The Friends of Glasgow Necropolis Group organise guided walking tours of this cemetery full of wonderful architecture, sculpture and fascinating stories relating to the people buried there.
