Glasgow
Glasgow’s urban landscape was shaped by empire.
This heritage trail explores sites within Kelvingrove Park that reflect the myriad ways Glasgow – its businesses, its institutions and its people – was implicated in slavery, colonialism and imperialism.
Traces of this past are largely invisible today, but by slow walking and close looking we can bring these ‘hidden’ histories into focus.
Facilities
Additional Access Information
Most of the walking tour takes place on the lower portions of Kelvingrove Park, however, it ends at the top near Park Circus, meaning there is a steep incline towards the end.
The route through the park follows marked and paved pathways, but these surfaces are uneven in places. Wherever possible stops are located next to park benches or other forms of seating.
The walking tour lasts for 120 minutes and takes place entirely outside and so participants/attendees should dress for the weather and wear comfortable walking shoes.
