Speirs Wharf

Location map for Speirs Wharf

Port Dundas, Craighall Road

Open: Saturday 10-4pm

In the early 19th Century, Speirs Wharf and Port Dundas were the hub of Glasgow's industrial development. This converted warehouse building consists of a mixture of residential and commercial use and is situated at the Port Dundas end of the Forth & Clyde Canal. Developed from 1811 onwards and redeveloped by Windex Ltd in 1989. The principal architect of the redevelopment was James Cunning Young. Speirs Wharf is an iconic landmark across the North Glasgow skyline and represents a magnificent piece of industrial heritage with some of the original warehouse features retained. Guided walkabouts around the outside will be conducted, culminating in a review of the master design plans being prepared by the Canal Partnership Regeneration Team. Access restricted to public areas only. Parking very restricted
