And the sight seeing continues

After we completed our assignment on the bridge Pretzelmeister and I continued on with the sight seeing first up was an impromptu visit to the Provand's Lordship the oldest house in Glasgow apparently - as well as having some fasinating items on display inside - there is a lovely garden out the back the perfect place to pause and linger for a moment

Now it was time for a drink – which turned out to be rather more of a mission than one would have expected when you are in the middle of a dozen or so tourist attractions while on our mission to get a drink we toured St Mungo’s Museum. St Mungo’s is a museum of religious history – not just Christian history. It’s quite something to see all the details of so many different religions side by side

After St Mungos we managed to finally find a drink and took time to rest and enjoy our drinks before heading to the final item on the agenda for the day – Glasgow Necropolis.

The Necropolis stands on a hill to the east of Glasgow Cathedral, just a short walk across the Bridge of Sighs. The monument to John Knox, which was erected in 1825, dominates the hill. The cemetery itself, like several in Edinburgh, was modelled on Père-Lachaise in Paris.

The Necropolis was amazing and we fabulous weather for it – it was fascinating seeing the different grave stones they used to put so much more information on them than we do these days, gravestones used be not just grave markers but testament to the life lived.
