Tracing Glasgow’s Imperial Past in Kelvingrove Park

  • Intersection of Clifton Street and La Belle Place Entrance to Kelvingrove Park Glasgow, Scotland, G3 7LW United Kingdom (map)

Glasgow’s urban landscape was shaped by empire. This heritage trail explores sites within Kelvingrove Park that reflect the myriad ways Glasgow – its businesses, its institutions and its people – was implicated in slavery, colonialism and imperialism. Traces of this past are largely invisible today, but by slow walking and close looking we can bring these ‘hidden’ histories into focus.
