Historic Sites
Tel: +44 (141) 2873961
Overview
The monument to John Knox, which was erected in 1825, dominates the hill.
The cemetery itself, like several in Edinburgh, was modeled on Père-Lachaise in Paris. It has been estimated that in the order of 50,000 burials have taken place here, with around 3500 tombs.
Built in the Classical Revival Architectural fashion the Necropolis was established by the Merchants' House of Glasgow in 1831. A pamphlet by John Strang of the Merchants' House 'Necropolis Glasguensis' was published the same year.
