About this audio guide
This guide to Park Circus in Glasgow follows Walter Macfarlane, a blacksmith's apprentice turned ironfounder, from a disused brass foundry in the Gallowgate to a corner house on the hilltop crescent above Kelvingrove Park. It touches the ornamental iron he shipped across the Empire, the nickname his neighbours gave him, and the nephew who inherited his home. Stand at the corner where the southwest terrace meets Park Street South.
