Event Description
Neil Baxter, Secretary of the Royal Incorporation of Architects in Scotland (RIAS) talks to the Society on The City of Glasgow – in Four Chapters: 'Compressing 800 years into a 30 minute talk this presentation considers the evolution of Glasgow from a centre of pilgrimage to the world city of today. En-route it introduces the twelfth century bishop and marketing genius who really got the whole thing going, the slave- owning plutocrats whose names are still in everyday use and the pivotal role of Glasgow's weavers in the invention of world tourism.'
