Following its debut at the Merchant City Festival this summer ‘The Listener’ will be available again during September this month, and also throughout the weekend of the doors open day in Glasgow, running from 18th - 21st September 2025.
Glasgow’s grand architecture and bustling streets tell a powerful story – but not all of it is visible at first glance. This walking tour through the heart of the city’s Merchant City offers a deeper look into Glasgow’s complex and often overlooked relationship with the transatlantic slave trade and the wealth it produced.
‘The Listener’ is a specially commissioned audio tour that explores Glasgow's historical ties to that slave trade. The guide, produced by theAfrowegian, is available exclusively on the Trailify app.
