Glasgow City - Episode 2 - Did Madeleine Smith poison her lover. Just one of teh stories as we tour this wonderful city


Listen Later

In this second Episode of Glasgow we leave Glasgow Green and travel from the East, along the river Clyde and past the Clutha bar that suffered such a tragedy a few years ago. We pass through the centre, traversing St Vincent Street to see some fabulous buildings including a Greek and Egyptian styled church reflecting the eclectic architecture of Glasgow. The street names reflect famous people and battles that were fought and you will hear how Nelson lost his eye and hear about the building that now houses the implement that removed the shrapnel during the battle. You will hear of the callous poisoning of Madeleine Smith’s lover and how on earth did she walk free having bought the arsenic just a few days before. We will cross over to Charing Cross and hear of the square mile of Murder. Then, onto the wonderful Gilbert Scott building that makes up Glasgow University and also to extraordinary Hunterian Museum before arriving at Byers Road. Fascinating places to hear about and some fascinating tales to tell.
