A granddaughter has blasted council bosses over the state of the cemetery where her family<\/a> are buried – saying she had to clean the place herself once a month.<\/p>\n Ceilidh McPherson<\/a> is incensed at Glasgow City Council over the state of Sandymount Cemetery, near Barlanark and Springboig, in the east end of the city.<\/p>\n She shared pictures of the cemetery with Glasgow Live<\/a> as she hit out over the burial ground, which is overgrown with weeds and long grass and had toppled over headstones and litter throughout the area.<\/p>\n She feels that Glasgow City Council<\/a> “doesn’t care” about how the cemetery looks and has been forced to tidy up her grandparents’ graves herself.<\/p>\n Ceilidh said<\/a>: “My gran died in 2000 and was buried in Sandymount. At the time they were just getting rid of the grounds keepers so it was spotless.<\/p>\n “Growing up, we went every Saturday, and I noticed the lack of grass cutting and care to the cemetery. We recently buried my granda in 2020 there and noticed full-on neglect from then to now.<\/p>\n “The graves are sinking and overgrown with weeds and grass. Weeds are so high. I\u2019m 5ft 6 and they\u2019re as tall as me nearly. I now go to the graves few times a month to clear what I can. All stones are now falling over you can\u2019t tell who\u2019s who.<\/p>\n Get the latest news sent straight to your messages by joining our WhatsApp community today.<\/p>\n You’ll receive daily updates on breaking news as well as the top headlines across Scotland.<\/p>\n No one will be able to see who is signed up and no one can send messages except the Daily Record team.<\/p>\n All you have to do is click here if you’re on mobile<\/strong><\/a>, select ‘Join Community’ and you’re in!<\/p>\n If you’re on a desktop, simply scan the QR code above with your phone and click ‘Join Community’.<\/p>\n We also treat our community members to special offers, promotions, and adverts from us and our partners.

I\u2019m absolutely shocked and livid that the council isn\u2019t doing anything about it.<\/p>\n “We should always respect the dead, they deserve a forever resting place that\u2019s well kept. Not a rubbish overgrown pits. Dunbartonshire cares more about its gravesites than Glasgow City Council does.”<\/p>\n![\"Weeds](\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/0_Screenshot-2025-08-16-at-94838-AM.png\")
