Secret Glasgow by Stephen Millar and Gillian Loney

Glasgow is full of hidden treasures that many residents walk past every day without ever realising their significance. This guide brings them to light: a beautiful garden tucked inside a hospital, a staircase once celebrated by Einstein himself, and the remains of both a workhouse and a Roman wall sitting quietly within the modern city.

Elsewhere it traces a lost burn running beneath the streets, a memorial to the Spanish Civil War, a stranded column marooned in the Clyde, and a Celtic gravestone with its own quiet story to tell. There's a derelict railway platform frozen in time, a stone said to have flown across the Irish Sea, the burial place of a Scot who went on to become an American hero, and mysterious etchings carved into a cathedral wall.

An essential companion for anyone who thought they already knew Glasgow well, this guide reveals a hidden face of the city most residents and visitors alike have never had the chance to see.
