About Heritage Walk: Giffnock - Mines and Mysteries
This Heritage Walk begins at Giffnock Library
Led by Dr. Stuart Nisbet, as well as looking at Braidbar Sandstone Quarries, this walk will tell the story of how Giffnock’s limestone and fireclay were quarried and mined to produce fertiliser and drains, to improve Giffnock’s farmland.
The walk is ‘stand-alone’ but will complement our Heritage class, Giffnock: What lies beneath? and our Heritage walk, Giffnock: Fire and Brimstone which are bookable separately.
