A walking tour of 3 miles around 7 historic sites relating to Glasgow’s contribution to the global carbon economy, led by Ewan Gibbs, historian of energy industries and author of ‘Coal Country.’ As the tour progresses from Glasgow Green, along the Clyde and through City Centre locations, you will see that Glasgow’s heavy industries and role in commerce gave it a central role in the globalised economy of the Nineteenth Century. The transformation of the urban environment and social life, political consequences with winners and losers, had a lasting impact on the local and global environment.
