Introduction

At the beginning of Route 1, Walking Heads Dougal Perman and Amanda Mitchell introduce the tour and explain how to make the most of the experience.

Cities are constantly evolving, and perhaps few more dramatically so than Glasgow. A walk by the Clyde reveals a story of invention and reinvention in the history of grand buildings and landmarks outlined on the riverside. But there are hidden stories in the gaps between buildings.

Along the way we will meet artists, writers, museum curators and local people who tell us how their dynamic city is responding to changing times.
