The Walks
Glasgow Women’s Library’s Women Make History group launched Glasgow’s first Women’s Heritage Walk in June 2007 as part of the West End Festival programme. Since then, we have continued to lead out walks in the West End during the spring and summer months and have expanded our range of guided walks for the general public to include trails in the city centre, walks on specific themes and for specific groups and a walk in the East of the city at the Glasgow Necropolis in partnership with Friends of the Glasgow Necropolis.
GWL learners, volunteers, sessional staff and members of the Learning Team are involved in the development of these walks and we are always looking for more content and information, whether you want to contact us through the website or input your ideas during or after a walk. There are lots of ways to get involved in the Women Make History project.
The walks are designed to be enhance life, health and learning. They have been developed with grown-ups in mind but we have had good feedback from young people and children too. You can find out more about the duration and accessibility of each walk on their individual pages (see the menu on the left) or by contacting us.
Browse the website to find out more about the walks programme, how to become a tour guide and how to get involved in the development of new walks as one of our Women’s History detectives.
