#onthisday in 1918, Private William Twaddle Campbell died during World War One. He is listed as killed in action; however, it is possible that he died of wounds sustained in late March, during the heavy fighting of the Second Battle of the Somme. glasgownecropolis.org/profiles/campb…

Delta compartment contains one family vault. Until recently, it had been unidentified. Thanks to a recently discovered passing reference in the Reformers’ Gazette published #onthisday in 1850, it has now proved possible to work out some of its history. glasgownecropolis.org/profiles/nimmo…

Mausoleum at Glasgow Necropolis. Went at the perfect time to catch the sun shining through the coloured glass. It was magical, mystical and mysterious. Really, really beautiful. What a lovely resting place #Glasgow #thenecropolis #Glasgownecropolis #restinpeace @GlwNecropolis
Worth getting soaked! @GlwNecropolis 🪦
@GlwNecropolis I spoke too soon...did a wider search and found this. Glasgow Courier 13 March 1858
@GlwNecropolis From the Glasgow Herald 28/9/1857 - He attended the High School of Glasgow and lived at 15 South Apsley Place. He was awarded third prize in the Third Class ( of 15) in Arithmetic. I had a look to see if I could find an account of the incident where he died but no luck.
@GlwNecropolis is on @FlogIt this afternoon and looking grand!
Did you know? ❤️We opened 1794 ❤️Necropolis 1833 ❤️George Jardine was our 1st Manager ❤️Rebecca Strong our 1st Matron ❤️Macewen brought his🐶to work ❤️Lister’s ward was built on a cholera pit ❤️Lister survived smallpox - only human disease to have been eradicated 👀🐶👇
Burns Night - Sweet Afton in the kitchen. Tune by Alexander Hume - buried in an unmarked common grave at the Necropolis in Glasgow. x.com/i/broadcasts/1…
@GlwNecropolis @DennistounStyle He was a very nice man, and a font of knowledge about many history subjects.
@DennistounStyle The first time I met Nigel was probably 15+ yrs ago during a twilight tour of @GlwNecropolis He said it was his wish to be buried there but that it likely wouldn't be possible. I think he would have loved this plaque.
@GlwNecropolis @FriendsofGRI Here is her plaque in GRI
Wonderful project commemorating 20,000 people buried in unmarked graves in Necropolis. The Friends of Glasgow Necropolis have done a marvellous job over the years reimagining the graveyard.
Lord Kelvin - twice president of the Royal Philosophical Society of Glasgow. Commemorative stone at @GlwNecropolis
Passing by @GlwNecropoli + popped in to see this again. Can't believe it was 16 years ago we unveiled it thanks to passion of the late John Ramster, then president of @RPhilGlasgow Next year is Lord Kelvin's 200th birthday, various events planned @UofGARC @UofGlasgow @IOPScotland
A visit to the Glasgow Necropolis is always worthwhile, but I learned so much more from a guided walking tour than from visiting solo. Would highly recommend. Many thanks to @GlwNecropolis and @UofGArchaeo for organising this trip for us third years
Our Work Party was very productive today. 8 graves cleared and two more headstones found that aren't listed on the memorial list. Tackled a large buddleia covering 3 plots & found one headstone and a double plot next door - very much work in progress!
Good morning from Crieff Cemetery!
Friends of Crieff Cemetery - new Twitter account - @crieffcemetery Do follow. There will be lots about the interesting people buried there and also about the great efforts of the volunteers. @bob_ross @ListerLaneCem @DalryCemetery @GlwNecropolis @FofNMC @friendsofSN @FOHPC
