Glasgow Life

By Sting

Wee Willie Winkie

In Glasgow there's a huge Victorian Graveyard called the Necropolis, where, when Glasgow was the Second City of the Empire, many of the rich people were buried. Much to my shame, today was the first time I had actually visited it, although I pass it most days.

Its an interesting place.

Anyway, most of you will have heard the childrens' nursery rhyme of Wee Willie Winkie.

This is the poet's gravestone.
