Listed Under Attractions - History and Culture

Established in 2007, we champion the city’s unique architecture and built environment and promote and encourage the understanding, appreciation and conservation of Glasgow’s historic buildings for the benefit of the city’s communities and its visitors, now and in the future.

We have publicly accessible headquarters in the historic heart of the Merchant City; pop in to collect leaflets, trails and maps, view our exhibitions, get advice on historic buildings maintenance and grants and come to our talks and workshops!

Sorry, but we have no upcoming events for Glasgow City Heritage Trust. If you know of an event taking place at Glasgow City Heritage Trust or anywhere else in Glasgow tell us about it and we'll list it on the website, for free!
