“Excellent way to spend afternoon and well worth the ticket cost: will be back!” Walk participant
Our only Women’s Heritage Walk south of the river, this guided tour will take you on a time travelling journey from the Napoleonic Wars to the modern day New Gorbals. Or tour guides will bring alive suffragettes, Jewish and Asian immigrants, hawkers and weavers, all of whom have inhabited this part of Glasgow, often facing daily challenges to make ends meet, but using their resourcefulness and creativity to survive and thrive.
Large print versions of the tour guides’ script are available on the day.
