Southern Necropolis
|
Southern Necropolis is the final resting place of approximately 250,000 contributors towards the rich historical legacy of Glasgow. Buried within the three sections of the cemetery are the likes of Sir Thomas Lipton, Alexander Greek Thomson, Charles Wilson and the legendary White Lady (walk round her three times, or she might turn you to stone). Once the venue of the famous Gorbals Vampire hunt back in 1954 the Southside's very own "city of the dead" represents a unique "window on time" to the past. Join the Happy Reaper (aka Colin Mackie) for a live broadcast tour of the Southern Necropolis, as he takes you on a meander around some graves within the Central, Eastern and Western sections of the cemetery, with some poignant musical contributions along the way by folk guitarist John Hutcheson, and Artist/Poet Christina Quarrell.
