About this audio guide
This guide to the Trades Hall of Glasgow climbs to the Grand Hall, where a long painted frieze shows the fourteen Incorporated Crafts at their trades. You'll meet the hammermen, coopers, cordiners and fleshers who once fed, clothed and shod the city, and the guild that has spoken for them since the early sixteen hundreds. Along the way it pauses on a donkey, a few pigs and a three hundred and sixth birthday party.
