  Good place for a walk and to see a bit over the city itself. Sadly there is no entry at the Firpark St.

  The most beautiful cemetery with a great view of Glasgow and nearby St. Mungo church. The cemetery itself is very hilly, so of you have trouble walking it will be difficult. If you are in Glasgow it is worth trip, and stop in St. Mungo's to see the beautiful interior. There is a small museum as well, and it has nice, clean bathrooms. At the time of this post, there is no fee required, rather a suggested donation.

  I usually do not like graveyards or cemeteries or things to do with dead people in general, but this place is a must visit when in Glasgow! Who knew a ginormous gravesite could be such an incredible destination and a wonderful way to spend an afternoon! First off, you will definitely get your steps in and decent cardio when exploring this place. It is gated, but you won't get locked in as you can cross the "Bridge of Sighs" over to the cathedral. Second, this place is not only interesting and historic to explore, but absolutely beautiful, from the ornate mausoleums to the beautiful pano views of the city. There are also several gorgeous headstones, monuments, and celtic crosses throughout the grounds. It was fun to read a lot of the epitaphs on the headstones/tombs and it honestly did not feel weird, creepy, or remotely scary or spooky at all; even when roaming around at dusk and into the evening. Passing by at night was actually kind of neat, too, as it was backlit in a very nice way. My fav find was a random tomb that said it had been erected by friends of the dead guy and had a quote that read: "You always spoke of my drinking, but never knew the source of the my thirst...". Loved it!

  The Necropolis was my go-to when I needed to clear my head, some quiet time for thinking or just a quick morning run from my desk while I was doing my postgraduate at the University of Strathclyde. And my friend, Jane used to walk her dog here. Some of those tombstones were magnificent and most intriguing. They looked like a scene from Dracula or Michael Jackson's Thriller!! (See photos). I normally find cemeteries creepy but it felt different walking up here. It's just quiet and peaceful. I loved the morning air, cool and crisp during winter. The photos I'm posting here were taken one winter morning in January just before sunrise and the skies were most colourful - no filters!!
