Merchant City

After the music hall production, I just wandered around. I found a beautiful church, called Ramshorn. There is some great information on it here:

Although built in the 1820's, the architecture is gothic, with much adornment in the Medieval style. I wandered around the churchyard as well.
A side window, boarded up.


A distant relation? I know our name is spelled just Wylie, but it's a rare name. This fellow was Hugh Wyllie, Provost of Glasgow, and the date is 1782. Many of the grave stones were in the wall like this one.

I wasn't really sure what this was. A family plot?
