[4K] Glasgow, Scotland - Cathedral, Necropolis & Drygate Brewery Walk

[@SKIBOB808]

Haven't been there since the early 70s mum used to take us there as kids, used to love the views, changed a bit since then

[@LivingWalks]

Thanks for your visit Robert, hope this brought back a happy memory or two?

[@TheFilipinoWalker]

9:30 It's the kind of cemetery that you would see in classic movies and I think it's fascinating to see an actual one even on video. Many thanks for showing us around!

[@LivingWalks]

You're really welcome FW, good to have linked up with you and share our walks. All the very best to you.

[@TheFilipinoWalker]

@@LivingWalks Same here 👍

[@LivingWalks]

Discover Glasgow's necropolis in this atmospheric, gothic walk and finish with a virtual pint at Drygate Brewery.

[@mindfulart8217]

I love the Police Box serving coffee at the start!

[@LivingWalks]

Hi MA, yes it's pretty cool isn't it!

[@colinreid3544]

I recall a dull and dreary Saturday afternoon in the winter of 1985, shooting several rolls of Ilford FP4 on my newly purchased Nikon FG20 - Photography heaven (no pun intended!!) And not seeing a single person for the hour+ I was there. Strange to think it has become one of Glasgow's stranger, but incredibly popular tourist attractions!! Great vid and thank you for bringing back the happy memories of my native city :-)

[@LivingWalks]

Hi there Colin, glad to have brought back a happy memory or two of your slightly surreal Photography trip in '85. Not seeing a single person for the hour+ must have felt fairly odd. Ah indeed, now one of Glasgow's stranger tourist attractions, who's have thought it! Thanks for connecting, we value it. All the best to you.

[@Indianbiker]

I love the church. We have very old churches in India. Marvelous.

[@LivingWalks]

I've been lucky enough to experience them in India. How special to have such diversity.

[@alanaitcheson3117]

Another wonderful walking video from Living Walks. So a very big thanks. PS I do love to watch your videos while on my exercise bike!!!

[@LivingWalks]

Thank you Brigitte, and thanks for taking the time to comment.

[@DMcC-lw1tc]

We all used to dog school , & hang about there.,i remenber we done brass rubbings of the gravestones one time at school (whitehill), & rem the tomb of the 7 brothers, for years & years theres a small bonfire lit just outside the back wall, we used to go there about midnite on bonfire nite, its always been called ' the gravy "

[@LivingWalks]

Thanks for dropping by D McC, oh that made me smile. Thanks for sharing your experience with me!

[@martiddy]

Everything looks so clean and pretty, Scotland has beautiful places

[@LivingWalks]

I quite agree Martiddy!

[@mindfulart8217]

What a wonderfully atmospheric experience. I walked all the way to the brewery with you. It would have been good to have shared a pint with you here at the end. Thanks LW.

[@LivingWalks]

Thanks MA, glad you found it so. Yes indeed a pint at the brewery with you would have been rather good.

[@ChillExplore]

As smooth and steady as this place is quiet ! Thanks for this another great walk

[@LivingWalks]

Thank you Chill and explore. I've just been enjoying your latest Morocco video. Really very captivating. Glad to have connected with you.

[@JohnnyStrides]

Very neat walk, not something I've ever seen anywhere (and I watch a ton of these vids). Thanks!

[@LivingWalks]

Thanks JS, good to be in touch with you. I've just been coincidentally enjoying you Yonge Street Walk, how nice it is to share walks.

[@LivingWalks]

Thank you Ricco, so pleased you enjoyed it, we appreciate your kind feedback and feel glad to have linked up with you. Wishing you a happy Viennese weekend too.

Another great walk. Been to Scotland three times now but still haven’t gotten to Glasgow. Looks like it will have to definitely be on our itinerary next time. Thanks so much for showing us around. - Henry

[@LivingWalks]

Hi Henry, thanks for dropping by, I've just been enjoying your Dublin walk. How nice to be able to introduce each other to cities we may never (or hardly) been to.

[@roberts3586]

Great video. Thanks so much. I caught a glimpse of my g-g-g-grandfather’s monument: Duncan Macfarlan! That was special to see. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇨🇦

I live 5 min away from this, had many a summer autumn winter & spring walk around it . Winter is the best though ❤

[@LivingWalks]

Ah yes Elaine, I can imagine a moody winter walk would be just the ticket. Thanks for dropping by.

Thank you TG, we like it too.

[@carolefaux3125]

Great video! We went to Glasgow in 2017 and spent a few days exploring the necropolis! I could kick myself for not recording it, so I thank you from the bottom of my heart!

[@LivingWalks]

You're so very welcome Carole, it's a fascinating and atmospheric place isn't it. Good to have brought it back to you. I have a few more walks in Glasgow here, if you ever feel like a few more memories of your stay in 2017? All the best to you.

[@carolefaux3125]

@@LivingWalks I will have to find those walks!!!

[@scottishbombolini7794]

Great video and Glasgow has loads of cool cemeteries, one just 15mins walk to the north is Sighthill cemetery where I spent so many happy times as a child. The stories on the gravestones are quite horrific, families of 14 members all dying of typhoid, and the endless lists of infant mortality in families or if you see small groups of trees that's where the unmarked Cholera mass graves are situated. My favorites were those who perished in the Napoleonic wars, fighting and dying in far off lands and those of the 1750s - 1790s who's gravestones are quite remarkable for the history they reveal.

[@LivingWalks]

How very nice to receive your email with such informative detail, which I hope others will find of interest too. It makes making these video's all worth while. All the very best to you.

[@Atikored]

If I was born again, I would definitely like to be Scottish ❤️ Such a nice country... Love from Turkey ❤️

[@LivingWalks]

We rather fell in love with it too, so I appreciate your sentiment. Thanks for dropping by.

[@jameswilson3991]

thank you

The necropolis just took me back to the past. How can a place like that be so beautiful!

Quite so Kevin, somehow especially in the winter time. Thanks for connecting.

[@abw48]

I was born in the Royal Infirmary Hospital in 1948, grew up on Alexandra Parade,behind the Royal where they stoked the Boilers, a Tenement slum, my cousins lived around the corner on Wishart Street and we all used to play in the Graveyard as that was the only grass we ever knew and as you are walking over the bridge thats Wishart street underneath. Ark Lane would lead down to Ladywell and the Tennents Brewery, I went to Golfhill School at the top end of Ark Lane, the school closed down years ago. Never heard of Drygate but it looks real nice but then so does all of Auld Glesga Toon these days, unlike the shitehole it was where I grew up in it... I left in 1966 and never lived there again. But Glesga, as we called it, is still with me.

[@LivingWalks]

Hello AB, how nice of you to connect with us and to share your interesting stories of your life in the Tenement. The Graveyard being the only grass you ever knew and your general memories of Auld Glesga Toon are interesting to hear. Such nice messages as yours make it worth doing the channel for us. I hope it evoked a good memory or two.

[@abw48]

@@LivingWalks : Growing up in a slum does not evoke good memories however you can take the boy out of the slums but you must take the slums out of the boy, and I have achieved the latter. By saying that I am glad I was born where I was born and Glesga sure looks a lot nicer today compared to the 1950s.

[@LivingWalks]

I appreciate your point Andrew, I guess sometimes those you meet and the relationships you made can hold the memories that are worth having. All the best to you.

[@서울워크]

Amazing quality as always! Thank you for the share!

[@LivingWalks]

Thank you Soulwalk. It's always good to share walks between us. Best wishes to you.

[@MellowOutAbout]

That cemetery is really cool!

[@LivingWalks]

Yes it's really very atmospheric, especially on a rainy day.

[@munnjean]

My Grandma lived at 74 John Knox Street ,,, across from the big black walls of Duke Street Prison. As a wee boy when I visited Granny in Glasgow my " playground " was The Necropolis ,,, nice and safe there for a wee boy ,,, except as evening fell there was too many ghosts ,,, way too many ,,,

[@LivingWalks]

How interesting to receive your message, it makes creating the films really worthwhile to receive such contact. I hope this helped to bring back happy memories. we have a few more of Glasgow here if it grabs you. All the best and thanks again for your message.

[@munnjean]

@@LivingWalks I must mention, in your video clip towards the end as you exit the gates and walk across the road, just as you start walking down the street that is exactly where Gran's house was on John Knox Street ,, ( long gone now ). My oh my, such memories ,, a little further down was a dimly lit butcher shop where Gran would send me with a shilling to buy mince " for the tea ". The bridge that leads to the Necropolis is called The Bridge of Sighs ,, aptly named as I'm sure you would agree. I used to stand under that bridge and shout hello ,, it had the most wonderful echo ,, fascinating to an eight year old. Also my Gran forbid me to cross over the street ,, to quote, " there's very bad men locked up behind those walls and they hung a woman in there ,, oh yes it sure had an effect ,, scared the hell out of me. All those memories good and not so good of growing up in the early 50's ,,, it was nice to visit Glasgow as a wee boy but I was quite happy to return home to " my Island " ,,, Rothesay, Isle of Bute ,, have a great day ,,

[@LivingWalks]

@@munnjean how lovely to receive this and hear all about your growing up in the city. Your messages are so interesting to us and one of the nicest we've ever received, so thank you so much and were so pleased to have brought the film to you.

Hi Scotia, you'd be welcome to use a minute or so, if you are happy to credit and link back yo us.

I was there in December 2019, cool place. Great video by the way.

[@LivingWalks]

Hi ARIKEN777, that must have been chilly. Hope you enjoyed it nonetheless? We have a few more here of the city, if you feel like another virtual leg stretch (or a walk to it around the coffee table). All the best to you.

[@AKRICH7]

@@LivingWalks Yeah it was a bit chilly but not that bad really. The necropolis, the historic architectures and Glasgow overall was absolutely amazing. Wish I had more time to explore the city but was only there for 4 days. Well maybe next time if i am lucky enough I will get to visit again. And best of luck to you too. Keep up the good work you as you have really great materials Your channel has great potentials. I subscribed : )

[@LivingWalks]

Hi there @@AKRICH7, thank you for getting back to me, I quite agree about the necropolis and Glasgow architecture, it's quite unique and very atmospheric isn't it. I'm from the South of the UK and it's almost like a different planet. The lighting, architecture and the landscape couldn't be more different. Been enjoying your- The Biggest Dinosaurs Ever video BTW. Ah the wonders of youtube. Thanks again for subscribing. All the very best to you.

[@AKRICH7]

@@LivingWalks I agree, both UK and Glasgow are unique and awesome in their own ways. So many interesting places with such a rich history and mind-blowing landscapes especially in the highlands. I had such a blast I miss it, wish I could travel around like you guys. Anyways thank you and please keep up the good work. All the best to you and your future journeys : )

Over 55000 bodies in that space apparently, yet only 3500 memorials. You could maybe go back sometime and film at night - on your own! :)
