A Tale of Two Towns: A History of Medieval Glasgow

Glasgow's origins are of profound importance towards understanding how this city grew from modest beginnings to become first a place of pilgrimage, then a merchant centre and ultimately an industrial powerhouse of world significance. Previous accounts of pre-Reformation Glasgow have been aimed at an academic audience. This book is the first exploration of Glasgow s medieval origins designed for a general readership. It will inform Glaswegians with an interest in how their city was formed and visitors who want to explore the whole history of this remarkable place. Glasgow's medieval history has been too long lost to the popular imagination. Its rediscovery recognises the contribution of our forebears to the evolution of the great city of Glasgow.
