Springburn Park Heritage Trail

Journey back in time and discover the dramatic story of Springburn’s rise and fall as an industrial powerhouse and locomotive manufacturer to the world. Tuning in to this year’s Doors Open theme, let your sensory imagination take over to feel and hear the sound of industrial Springburn contrasting with the fresh air and stillness of Springburn Park. Led by Paul Sweeney MSP, who is chair of Springburn Winter Gardens Trust, you will find out new things about the city, all through the lens of the magnificent Winter Gardens and its location, Springburn Park. The Trust is working with numerous partners to bring the Winter Gardens back to life. You will hear more about the exciting plans on this tour. As the tour comes to an end, visitors can stay on and attend a script-in-hand rehearsed reading of ‘Off the Rails / Back on Track’. This site-specific Spoken Landscape theatre piece is curated by Scottish Society of Playwrights’ Fellow Jack Dickson to showcase multicultural Springburn, its glorious heritage and its secrets, 11am – 12.30pm at Springburn Auditorium.
