Our first 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.
Women of the Gorbals Heritage Walk, Saturday 5th August, 2pm to 4pm, meet outside Clutha Vaults
Our 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.

We’re delighted to partner with the British Deaf Association who will provide BSL interpreters for this walk.
