Sauchiehall Street to Seven Lochs: A Sensory History of Glasgow Wetlands
Find out about the surprising links between this bustling city centre street and Scotland's largest urban heritage and nature park.
About Sauchiehall Street to Seven Lochs: A Sensory History of Glasgow Wetlands
Sauchiehall Street’s name holds a key to its origins, hinting at a past far removed from today’s bustling cityscape. Over the last 200 years, the street has transformed dramatically as Glasgow expanded westward, now supporting a very different kind of biodiversity from the Seven Lochs Wetland Park. Join Scott Ferguson as he uncovers the unexpected connections between these two seemingly contrasting landscapes, the vital role wetlands have played in our past and how the Park team and local communities are working to conserve them for future generations.
Free event. Booking is encouraged to help manage numbers, but limited drop-in tickets will be available. If you can no longer attend, please let us know—we’d greatly appreciate it!
This event is apart of an events programme, which will run alongside an immersive exhibition "Not to be Sniffed At - an Aromatic History of Sauchiehall Street". The exhibition invites visitors to experience the street's past through their sense of smell.
Running from April 19 to May 1, this unique collaboration between Glasgow Building Preservation Trust and perfumer Clara Weale explores the evocative power of scent in shaping memory and place.
This work is a part of the exploration phase programme for Sauchiehall Street: Culture and Heritage District, funded by the National Lottery Heritage Fund, in partnership with Glasgow City Council.
