About Book Launch: Secret Glasgow

Join us in-store on Thursday 24th at 7pm as we celebrate the launch of Secret Glasgow!

Authors Stephen Millar and Gillian Loney will be discussing all things unusual and unfamiliar about Glasgow. Step off the beaten track with this fascinating Glasgow guide book and let our local experts show you the well-hidden treasures of an amazing city.

This event is free, but please let us know you're planning on attending by reserving your ticket via the link on this page. Secret Glasgow will be available to purchase on the night.

SECRET GLASGOW:
A beautiful garden inside a hospital, a staircase once celebrated by Einstein, the remains of a workhouse and a Roman wall, a lost burn and a reminder of the Spanish Civil War, a stranded column in the Clyde and a Celtic gravestone, a derelict railway platform, a stone that flew over the Irish Sea, the burial place of a Scot who became an American hero and mysterious etchings on a cathedral wall - Glasgow is full of hidden treasures that many residents go past without realising their significance. This is an indispensable guide for anyone who thought they knew the city well but would like to discover its hidden face.
