Description

Unfolding Argyle Street offers a reintroduction to the city-centre portion of one of Glasgow's longest and most varied streets, concentrating on the lesser-known, the overlooked, and paths untaken, complemented by untold stories from New Glasgow Society archives! From Glasgow Cross to the M8, in collaboration with Glasgow Gander Walking Tours, encounter a half-realised Brutalist Megastructure, a full-size stone rendering of Britain’s largest land animal, some elusive glimpses into fast-disappearing old Glasgow, and a density and quality of city trivia which is bound to please!
