Grahamston – Glasgow’s Forgotten Village
Made doubly popular by the BBC TV series ‘Inside Central Station’, Walking Glasgow tour guide, Kevin Scott, guides you around what does & doesn’t remain of the village which once stood between Glasgow and Anderston. From Glasgow’s first theatre to Wotherspoon’s bakery, and the two remaining buildings from that period, you get an idea of what Glasgow itself must have been like around 1700, when the population was only around 20k in the, soon to develop, town
