“Very friendly and well informed guides. I saw parts of Garnethill I did not know existed.” Walk participant
From the bustle of Sauchiehall Street to quiet and leafy back streets, this bohemian enclave is full of surprises and has been home to many remarkable women who have made Garnethill one of the most exciting cultural and multicultural hotspots in Glasgow.
Within Garnethill’s confined boundaries we spotlight the women who pioneered European art movements, designed banners for suffragette processions, created the first women’s library in Scotland and made Garnethill the most exciting cultural and multicultural hotspot in Glasgow.
Join our tour guides and hear about some of Glasgow’s most remarkable women, including Margaret Macdonald Mackintosh and the other Glasgow Girls, who we’ll be celebrating as part of the Mackintosh Festival.
Large print versions of the tour guides’ script are available on the day.
