WALK: Historic Maryhill Guided Walk

90mins
Meeting point: At reception at Maryhill Burgh Halls
10-24 Gairbraid Avenue, G20 8YE

Discover the buildings which reveal Maryhill's story from country side estate to industrial burgh. Once a vast expanse of fields and greenery, Maryhill developed as a local community outside of Glasgow with the industry spurred on by the opening of the Forth and Clyde Canal in 1790. Workers brought their families to settle close to the factories along the canal and a community was born. Inspired by the scenes portrayed in the stained glass windows which decorate the Halls, the guided walk locates the sites of a buzzing industrial and social Victorian post.

The walk is suitable for adults and families. Hands-on creative activities of designing your own 'stained glass' with acetate frames will be available for children (and/or adults!) along the way. Children under the age of 16 years must be accompanied by a supervising adult over the age of 16.
