Interactive map allows Glaswegians to follow in the footsteps of WW2 heroes

Sometimes your past can catch up with you in the most unlikely places.

For instance, you don’t have to travel to continental Europe to learn about the Second World War; you can just take a trip to the south side of Glasgow.

A free walking tour around Newlands gives Glaswegians the chance to examine the many aspects of war: from the military and historical perspective to how it was interpreted by those that lived in the area at the time. The best part? All you need is your phone.
