Women of the Merchant City
“I enjoyed hearing about the remarkable women who lived and worked in the area [and] the enthusiasm and knowledge of the guide.”
“I just wanted to say how much I enjoyed the walk, and I thought Kirsty was a great tour guide, full of interesting stories and facts. Looking forward to coming on more walks in the future.”
The Merchant City’s hidden history is uncovered during this walk around Glasgow’s cosmopolitan hub, revealing the female stars that stud the fabric of this famous quarter. Scandal, vice, radicalism, regeneration and revival are topics highlighted by this original tour.
