West End Women’s Heritage Walk

Please note that this event is now fully booked.  Why not check out our Hidden Gems of Garnethill and Women of the Necropolis women’s heritage walks happening later in the spring.

Back by popular demand, this pioneering women’s heritage walk, developed by women historians at GWL, reveals a hidden history of the West End: from pipe-smoking forewomen to revolting schoolmistresses.

Sunday 11 March, 2pm
Tickets £7.50

An intriguing, inspiring insight into the hitherto unsung women who made the West End. Meeting details will be given when booking.

Why not meet for a tea or coffee before or after the walk at An Clachan, a lovely West End cafe in Kelvingrove park who kindly supported the printing of our current programme.

Unfortunately on this occasion we are not in a place to offer free or subsided places on our Women’s Heritage Walks.

If you are interested in women’s history then perhaps you know of a memorial to a woman in your area that hasn’t been marked on our Women of Scotland map? Or maybe you know the story behind a name?  Maybe you’ll find a memorial on this walk! We want women across Scotland to go out and find the monuments, landmarks, street names and buildings that mark the lives and achievements of women (whether famous, humble or notorious) who have helped to shape Scotland. We are launching Mapping Monuments to Women on Saturday 10th March to mark International Women’s Day. Click here for more information.
