Cemetery Series: Glasgow

Lush green park dotted with trees in the middle of a bustling city. Overlooking both the park and the city, a rocky hill stands, covered in the greatest tributes to the disposable wealth of the Victorian Era. The land began life as a legitimate park when the local merchant’s house purchased the land in 1651 and planted fir trees on the land, transforming it into Fir Park. By 1831, those same merchants thought the land could turn a profit and thus Glasgow Necropolis was born. Scotland’s answer to the world-famous Père Lachaise Cemetery in Paris.
