Discover the past and present heritage of Cathcart, its stories and evolution over centuries, on our guided walk.

The rich history and dramatic natural landscape of the former village of Cathcart make it the unique and picturesque place it is today...

Join us to learn about castles and churches, royalty and rebellion, bygone industrial mills and workers cottages, artists and architects, roads and railways - all of which played their part in the timeline of a humble village that became an affluent Victorian suburb of Scotland's only metropolis.
