On Monday 25th October at 6pm, as part of Black History Month Scotland, Mark McGregor and Saskia McCracken from SGHET will explore how South Glasgow’s built heritage was shaped by profits from the transatlantic trade in enslaved people.
This talk will cover some key people and historical sites south of the Clyde, including the Stirling Maxwells of Pollok.
The talk is from 6pm-7.15pm Monday 25th October on Zoom, including time for Q&A.
