GCHT "Mini City Break" health walk 4: George Square

Get away for your desk and get active at lunch time by having a gander at George Square with Niall Murphy, Deputy Director of Glasgow City Heritage Trust

George Square, the civic heart of Glasgow but a hugely contested space within the city as it has evolved over three centuries. Highlights include an examination of each of the monuments, an explanation of why the various people were selected for immortalisation and who were the sculptors. The tour will take a closer look at Sir JJ Burnet's subtle design for the Cenotaph with its superb sculpture by Ernest Gillick. Finally, the tour will also look at the overall positions of the monuments, how they have moved over time and if a pattern to their arrangement is discernible.

Please note the tour lasts approximately 50 mins.�

Thu 13^th, 1pm; 50 minutes
