About this Event
For health and safety reasons, the tour will follow designated paths throughout. As we’ll be outdoors and on our feet for the full duration, we recommend wearing sturdy footwear and dressing for the weather. This tour is not suitable for those with mobility issues.
Join Friends of Cathcart Cemetery for a guided walking tour uncovering the hidden histories of this remarkable Victorian garden cemetery, opened in 1876 and designed by celebrated landscape designer William Ross McKelvie.
Along the way, we’ll share stories of those buried here: a pioneering public health campaigner who helped found Glasgow’s Victoria Infirmary, a celebrated Gaelic soprano who toured the world, a suffragette who stood on the front lines of protest, and pioneering Victorian footballers.
Whether you're drawn to social history, folklore, grave design or simply want to know a little more about this historic green space, this tour offers an atmospheric and thought-provoking introduction to Cathcart’s past.
