Everyone has their take on what gives a city its character. In Played in Glasgow Ged O’Brien dusts the blaes from his knees and sets out to chart Glasgow’s sporting and recreational heritage, seeking out the best of the city’s historic sportsgrounds and grandstands, bowling greens, swimming pools and pavilions, many of them little known yet deeply embedded in the social fabric. Commissioned by Historic Scotland in the run up to the 2014 Commonwealth Games and lavishly illustrated with contemporary photography and detailed mapping, this is a book for those who love their city but want to delve beyond the clamour of football and professional sport.
