Description

In every city there are untold stories where the buildings, statues and place names hold clues to past events and forgotten people.
One of Glasgow’s biggest hidden stories is how it played a part in and was shaped by the transatlantic slave trade.

Take our hidden stories detective challenge, can you follow the route and answer the questions along the way? You’ll need to keep your eyes open and look high and low in order to complete this– Good Luck!
