While I can't find a reference to it, I seem to remember that there is a clause in the title for this land that means it can never be built on, which may explain why it survives to this day when the last burial in it took place in 1857. Runing parallel to Keith Street is Purdon Street, which another remider of the life of John Purdon as it's named after him.
The former Quaker Burial Ground on Keith Street in Partick. Glasgow's smallest graveyard, it was donated to the Quakers by the local land owner John Purdon in 1711, and his wife, Margaret Simspon (known better known as Quaker Meg), was said to have been the first person buried in it. There are no headstones in it, not because they have been lost over time, but because historically Quaker burials were not marked in this way.

Anyone in Partick missing a trampoline?
Partick Burgh Hall in the west of Glasgow looking very exotic against this morning's rather stunning sunrise.
The PS Waverley, the world's last ocean-going passenger paddle steamer, making its first voyage west through Glasgow's newest bridge over the Clyde.
My first look at the new Govan-Partick Bridge in its closed position, and its definitely looking good, but just a week before its official opening, one crucial question remains unanswered: What's its nickname going to be?
An oasis of calm in the city. This is the River Kelvin as it runs through Partick in Glasgow. Amongst the trees in the background is the old Bishop's Mill, which was built in 1839. I think the small falls on the left mark the point at which the Kelvin becomes tidal before entering the Clyde a short distance further downstream.
I spotted these relief sculptures over the entrances to numbers 1 and 3 Elie Street in the Partick area of Glasgow. It's great to see such adornments on relatively new tenement buildings. Modern buildings need more little details like this.
