HUB - TALK: Revisiting the Old Country Houses of the Old Glasgow Gentry

HUB - The Garment Factory, 10 Montrose Street, G1 1RE
​
In 1870, The Old Country Houses of the Old Glasgow surveyed landed estates around west-central Scotland, sometimes distancing landowners from the origins of their wealth. By examining the connections between chattel slavery and landowners, this lecture situates the estates in transatlantic context.​ Talk by historian Stephen Mullen.
