A trail into the past
Pollokshields Heritage has put together a series of trails following funding from the Heritage Lottery Fund and Glasgow city council, and will officially launch the walking guide leaflets on Sunday (March 3), at Pollokshields Burgh Hall.
Trail one covers the west of the suburb and the villas of Pollokshields, followed by trail two on the east and the area’s tenements.
