Next Saturday, from 12pm till 4pm, we will be at @thepipefactory_ with our drop-in consultation event to decide which Barras phrases should end up as permanent commemorations, engraved into the pavements around the market.

We are hugely grateful to the people of the Barras for sharing their memories, and working alongside the amazing young participants, to create a variety of Barras-inspired artworks.

On April 1, 1820, the proclamation that would spark the Radical War was printed in Glasgow.

This was no April Fool...

@HESEngineShed 🎵No bias here obvs...😉, but @KGBandstand is a belter! Opened in 1924, the dilapidated bandstand was carefully restored by GBPT in 2014 in partnership with @GlasgowCC + @glasgowlife and funding from @HeritageFundSCO + others. #music #Glasgow #heritage 🎵
