Take a stroll with me through Glasgow’s history, from its 6th Century origins through its gruesome and glorious past. Learn about St. Mungo, Glasgow’s patron saint and how he established Glasgow on the banks of the Molendinar Burn Then wander down High Street, marvelling at wonderful murals, hearing stories of universities and prisons, scientists and criminals. Learn about the City's rise through trade and commerce, then heavy industry, becoming known as "The Second City of The Empire". See the Merchant City, with its mix of Georgian and Victorian buildings including the stunning City Chambers on George Sq. Then travel to Glasgow's West End. There, learn about the Victorian expansion of the city, visiting its leafy parks, trendy streets and the neo gothic University of Glasgow. I grew up in this fantastic city, its story is in my soul. It is a living, breathing Scottish city, but we'll scratch under the surface, revealing its stories and secrets. I might even show you where I was born!
