The Friends of Glasgow Necropolis are delighted to offer friendly and informal Walking Tours of the Glasgow Necropolis.
Our volunteer tour guides 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.
Our general walking tours are undertaken for free. However, all donations are gratefully received and support our work in the conservation and restoration of the Glasgow Necropolis.
Donations can be made in advance via our donations page, or with cash or card on the day.
About the Tours
Prior booking is essential, with members of The Friends of the Glasgow Necropolis having priority booking. All other places will be allocated on a first come basis and the meeting point will be provided with every confirmed booking.
Our General Tours last approximately 2 hours.
