A Walk in the Park

Exploring the Treasures of Glasgow's Dear Green Places

About this book

A wander through twelve of Glasgow's finest parks, and through the mind of a treasured Glasgow resident, John Cairney. Cairney's exploration of his home city's dear green places ranges from Tollcross Park in the east, to the Botanic Gardens, pride of the West End, and even right out to Hogganfield Loch in the city's furthest reaches. Written with a deep love of the city, A Walk in the Park takes us on a journey into Glasgow's past as well as through its outdoor spaces. Cairney traces his city's history back a millennium to its founding by that great wanderer, St Mungo. Through the stories of its parks Glasgow comes to life, a post-industrial city with an unmatched individuality, a thriving cultural scene, and a lot to look forward to.
