Bridgeton/Dalmarnock walk

Bridgeton and Dalmarnock don’t attract many tourists or casual walkers, but there is a lot to see here. This walk focuses on Bridgeton, which exists because of a quirk of history in the late 1700s. Glasgow’s only bridge fell into disrepair, and carts were banned from crossing it. Residents of Rutherglen - feeling cut off - took matters into their own hands and built a new bridge. This led to a settlement being founded on the north bank: Bridge Town.
What followed was extraordinary. Within a century, Bridgeton became one of the most intensely industrialised districts on the planet — packed with cotton mills, coal pits, dye works, breweries, and engineering yards. On this walk, we’ll uncover the surviving traces of that world: the Industrial Revolution relics, the Orange halls, the old burial ground, the stories of the gangs that made Bridgeton infamous, and the remarkable people who started life in these streets. I haven't done this walk before so the end time is hard to be certain about - its about 2.5 miles. Suggest a £1 donation for charity - Maggie's Cancer Trust.
