About this Event
Join us for an engaging evening of storytelling with Colm Bryce, author of "Little Donegal: The Irish in the Gorbals & Govanhill." Colm will delve into the rich historical connections between Govanhill, Gorbals, and Donegal, highlighting the impact of Irish migrants from the North West of Ireland on Glasgow’s southside.
Discover how Irish people have been integral to Scotland's history, from the Dál Riada tribe in 400 CE to the growth of Glasgow in the 17th and 18th centuries, and through all the stages of the city's development, including in Govanhill.
Accessible toilets: The accessible toilet is 16m (17yd) from the main entrance, opposite the reception.
