This book contains eighteen walks which you can take around Glasgow to explore its past, present and future. As well as looking at the city's amazing and surprisingly diverse architecture, it also considers many aspects of the city's social history, its place in the world, and how this has changed over time, its current status and culture, and where it might go in the future.

These walks visit sites ranging from iron age earthworks through medieval buildings, Georgian mansions, Victorian factories, Neo-Greek Temples, the world's first sea-to-sea canal, a cemetery built on the remains of an extinct volcano, Glasgow Style tenements, neogothic university buildings, modernist churches and many of the other features which help make Glasgow a truly unique city live in and to visit.

Colin M. Drysdale is a scientist, writer and creator of the social media channel This Is My Glasgow, where he highlights the architecture, history, beauty and occasional weirdness of everyday life of his native city.
