Ghost Signs of Glasgow is a project which tracks down, researches and archives fast disappearing signs around the city. Ghost Signs are fading signs which represent a business, establishment or organisation which no longer exists.
Become a Ghost Sign buster as you walk around Glasgow City Centre looking at Ghost Signs and old shopfronts, discovering the hidden stories of the buildings around you! Ghost Signs of Glasgow will be leading a walking tour across the City Centre, exploring the architectural, social, economic and cultural history of the Glasgow to which the signs belonged. The walk will take place twice during the day; once in the morning and once in the afternoon.
The meeting point where each tour will begin is at The National Trust for Scotland's Tenement House Museum in Garnethill, where the Ghost Signs of Glasgow exhibition is currently on display with free entry to the exhibition.
