Glasgow’s West End – the home of rousing radicals, tireless teachers and steadfast suffragettes!

Our West End Women’s Heritage Walk shares the story of remarkable, unsung women; a story of protesting, rallying activists, and of the rent strikers and ‘wild women’ who built this part of Glasgow – and whose contribution can still be felt today. Hear about formidable Rachel Johnston; a pipe-smoking labourer and special constable, and pay a visit to the 2016 Scottish Tree of the Year – the Suffrage Oak!

West End Women’s Heritage Walk, Sunday 19th June, 2pm to 4pm

It’s time to reveal the hidden history of the women of the West End…
