Thanks Pat. The Glasgow Necropolis is indeed a fascinating place. One could spend days in there learning the histories of the great, the good, and the forgotten.

Your blog has become my very welcome weekly armchair travel. I look forward to seeing some for real in times to come.

Thinking about obelisks, memorials and the like, I visited the Necropolis in Glasgow last year which must have more amazing edifices per square foot than anywhere else. An extraordinary testimony to wealth and hubris!
