In one day we could reasonably visit the Glasgow Necropolis, Ramshorn Kirk yard, Calton burying ground in Abercromby Street and the Southern Necropolis. It's all walkable distances. Then pgcc93 can find us a pub to rest our weary bones. Sound like a plan?

After much chin scratching accompanied by a furrowed brow, how about 'The Clutha Vaults' at the Brigate for refreshments :?:

Definitely sounds good to me. When are we thinking of doing this?

Personally I think GCC should foot the bill by way of thanks to the man. After all, it's thanks to Thompson that Glasgow has so much great architecture.

Would this be the same city council that has allowed many of his buildings fall into near dereliction? I think that they'll be waiting a lot longer than another five years before our city faithers put their hands into their collective pocket.

I agree with you totally. It's a disgrace.
