Gravestone for Chief Constable Alexander McCall who died in 1888 and is buried in the Glasgow Necropolis.

The Celtic cross style stone is an early work by Charles Rennie MacKintosh, whose father was the Chief Clerk in the City of Glasgow Police Force while McColl was in charge. The stone itself was sculpted by Peter Smith who worked for John Mossman.

Today's early morning blue skies over Glasgow Cathedral and the Necropolis. Looks like it's going to be a beautiful day!

Here we are on Glasgow's Bridge of Sighs. I'm standing on the #GlasgowNecropolis end, camera down low to give the illusion that the footbridge is on a gradient. This bridge crosses over Wishart Street. #GlasgowCathedral is on the right.

The faces of the happy tourists have been blurred out to protect the innocent. 😀

I'm standing on a hill at the Glasgow Necropolis. To the right, through the trees you can see the copper roof of Glasgow Cathedral. Further up to the right is the Royal Infirmary.
On the bottom left is the Bridge Of Sighs Footbridge linking the Necropolis to the Cathedral.
On the extreme left the reddish building on John Knox Street is the Cathedral House Hotel, reputed to be haunted by the inmates of the old Duke Street Prison. #GlasgowNecropolis #Glasgow #photography

One of my favourite photographs of Glasgow's Bridge of Sighs. The footbridge crosses over Wishart Street and straight ahead is the Glasgow Necropolis.

Here's a little video I made a few years ago when I was trying out Linux LibreOffice and kdenlive. It's a description of the Glasgow Necropolis and in particular, one of its many mausoleums.
I've updated it with some fresh music, but apologies for the video quality.

Here's a wee experiment I was working on a few years ago using Linux, LibreOffice Impress and the KDenlive video editor. I've put it back up in YouTube with new music. The quality is, er, passable.

The name Houldsworth has long been forgotten, but I think you'll be impressed by the Glasgow Necropolis itself.
