Glasgow Cathedral (again!) and the Necropolis

I know I've been to Glasgow Cathedral several times, but really, you can't see cathedrals too often, I believe. Besides, I thought that the scaffolding was gone from the front of the cathedral. I was mistaken in this (I believe it's only shifted a little, and thus, from one side of it, thought it was gone). Nevertheless, the cathedral is lovely in the spring. I also went to The Necropolis (an enormous Victorian cemetery above the cathedral) which was very accessible from the cathedral (I had thought it at more of a distance). I also visited the Provand's Lordship once again. It's good to tramp around old Glasgow from time to time.

An ivy-clad Gothic monument. Very Victorian.

This was inside the mausoleum pictured above - the hole through which something like an arch could be seen. Intriguing and a little spooky.

There was a Wylie named on this stone, so I took a picture.

Isn't this fellow fabulous? Lying out like a Medieval knight.

A stunning view from the top of the Necropolis.
