LITTLE HISTORY OF GLASGOW (HB)

Glasgow has always been a city of great complexity. From tentative origins, under the watchful eye of St Mungo, it grew from the serene ‘Dear Green Place’ into a bustling trading hub - albeit one renowned for poverty, crime and slum living. This book explores the city’s slow beginnings and surprising economic rise, its rapid fall from its position as a titan of manufacturing, and its 21st-century reinvention as one of Europe’s most characterful cities.
