About this audio guide
This guide to the Mitchell Library in Glasgow begins with Andrew Carnegie at a foundation stone on North Street in nineteen-oh-seven, and with the question of whose library he was really honouring. It follows a quiet bachelor tobacco manufacturer from Linlithgow and the will he left behind. Along the way you'll look up at the bronze figure on the copper dome and hear about the concert hall fire of nineteen sixty-two. Best heard on North Street, facing the dome.
