Overview

The Gallus Glasgow project by Glasgow City Heritage Trust tells to story of the city's Victorian heritage through the eyes of Thomas Sulman, illustrator of the incredible Bird's Eye View of Glasgow, 1864.

This tour explores the lost buildings shown on the map, and what they can tell us about Victorian Glasgow.
