The Friends of Glasgow Necropolis are delighted to offer friendly and informal Walking Tours of the Glasgow Necropolis. Run by our extremely, well-informed, volunteer tour guides who give their time and commitment to share their passion for this outstanding cemetery to the visitors to the Glasgow Necropolis. Our tours are designed to provide an introduction and overview to the 37 acre (15 hectare) historically significant Victorian Cemetery. Telling the stories of some of the 50,000 people interred within its magnificent gates and their contribution to making Glasgow the second City of the Victorian Empire.
Whilst Covid risk is still present, our priority is keeping everyone as safe as possible,and whilst physical distancing and face coverings are no longer mandatory for outdoor groups,we may still be observing these recommendations where appropriate, I do hope you understand.
May I take this opportunity to remind you that the Necropolis can be uneven underfoot in places, and therefore sensible walking shoes are strongly recommended, and all tours undertaken at your own risk.
