In Glasgow, Scotland, there is a Victorian cemetery known as the Glasgow Necropolis. It is located to the east of Glasgow Cathedral on a modest but noticeable hill. There are almost 50,000 people buried here. As was customary at the time, only a tiny fraction of those buried are commemorated on monuments, and not every burial gets a stone. There are over 3,500 monuments here.

Strathclyde Country Park

Strathclyde Country Park is a country park in North Lanarkshire, Scotland, on the suburbs of Motherwell. The park encompasses 4 km2 and is centered on the man-made Strathclyde Loch. It is situated between Hamilton and Motherwell on the banks of the River Clyde. Strathclyde Park is part of what was once known as the Low Parks of the now-demolished Hamilton Palace, and it still has structures related to the palace. When the loch was formed in the early 1970s, it flooded the ancient mining community of Bothwellhaugh. The park has a variety of services and attractions, including coarse fishing, forest walks, watersports, and a camping and caravanning area.

Bothwell Castle

Bothwell Castle is a massive medieval castle in South Lanarkshire, Scotland, located on a high, steep bank above a bend in the River Clyde. It lies roughly 10 miles southeast of Glasgow, between Bothwell and Uddingston. The forefathers of Clan Murray began construction of the fortress in the 13th century to secure an important crossing place of the Clyde. Bothwell was an important figure in Scotland's Wars of Independence, changing hands multiple times. The massive cylindrical donjon was erected in the 13th century, but it was badly damaged in a series of sieges before the remainder of the castle was completed.

Campsie Fells

The Campsie Fells are a group of hills in central Scotland that span east to west from Denny Muir in Stirlingshire to Dumgoyne in Stirlingshire, with a view of Strathkelvin to the south. The range's southernmost point is in East Dunbartonshire. To the south, the mountain overlooks Strathblane, Blanefield, Milton Of Campsie, Lennoxtown, and Torrance; to the west, Killearn; and to the north, Fintry and Strathendrick. The Fintry Hills are located farther north, the Kilpatrick Hills are located to the west, and the Kilsyth Hills are located to the east.

The Clyde Arc

The Clyde Arc is a road bridge in Glasgow, Scotland that connects Finnieston, near the Clyde Auditorium and SEC, with Pacific Quay and the Glasgow Science Centre in Govan. The bridge's unusual curving design and the way it spans the river at an angle are two of its most notable features. The Arc is the first city-center river crossing completed since the Kingston Bridge opened to traffic in 1970. When it was officially opened on September 18, 2006, the bridge was dubbed the "Clyde Arc." Previously, it was known as the "Finnieston Bridge" or the "Squinty Bridge."
