2. The Necropolis is Glasgow’s most famous graveyard. It was established in 1831, copying the Parisian graveyard Père Lachaise. At the beginning of the nineteenth century, rich inhabitants of Glasgow wanted to present themselves adequately even after their death, therefore the entire graveyard is built to impress. The Necropolis stretches over 37 acres which equals about 15 football (that is soccer) fields, or just about 150.000m2.

8. You are looking at the tower of Tron church which today is Tron Theatre and the street that it is located on is called Trongate. Originally it was known as Saint Thenew’s Gait because it was situated along the way to the supposed site of Thenew’s burial. As a reminder, Thenew, or how she is more commonly known today as Saint Enoch, is Saint Mungo’s mother. Why could this building be so memorable to us?

10. This mural is called ‘Fellow Residents of Glasgow’ and was painted by Smug. This mural of a hiker foraging for mushrooms in the woodlands appears to be straight out of a fairy-tale. All animals you see in this mural can be found in Glasgow’s parks and green spaces. The animals appear through what looks like holes in the wall.

About Glasgow

Glasgow is Scotland's largest city, a Victorian port on the Clyde with galleries, live music and red-sandstone terraces, and Loch Lomond close by.

Glasgow grew on the River Clyde through shipbuilding, tobacco and trade, and its Victorian wealth shows in the red sandstone of its terraces, museums and merchant halls. The medieval cathedral, which survived the Reformation intact, stands beside the Necropolis, a hill of Victorian tombs. The Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum, a red-stone palace, holds Salvador Dalí's Christ of St John of the Cross and a Spitfire hanging in its hall.
