Glasgow - Slavery and The Abolition Movement

Meeting point: Outside the Tobacco Merchant's House, 42 Miller Street. G1 1DT

Booking: Book online

Information: This walk, guided by Stephen Mullen, takes the audience on an historical journey of discovery through Glasgow's mercantile past and examines the connections with tobacco, slavery and the abolition movement. This is demonstrated today by Glasgow's built heritage, which provides an extraordinary insight into the role of slavery in the City's economic development. This built heritage also illustrates how individuals and organisations worked towards the abolition of the despicable trade in human misery. This walk is also available as a podcast and can be downloaded from www.gbpt.org
