Glasgow
In the early 1820s, Thomas 'Lang Tam' Harvie, a wealthy Glasgow distiller, bought the estate of Westthorn in Dalmarnock. He soon set about building huge walls to mark his property.
One of these, known as Harvie’s Dyke, ran down to the edge of the Clyde, blocking a long-established public pathway along the north bank of the river.
Join us for various events including plays, tours and talks at Parkhead Library, Thorndyke Lane, Cuningar Loop and Bridgeton Cross to enjoy yourself and learn interesting stories.
