Glasgow has a long and storied history, but too often the stories that we hear are those belonging to the rich and powerful men who write the history books. I set off to discover something new about my city by joining two very different tours that brought new perspectives. In this article, I share my experience with Glasgow Radical Tours.

Dr Kate Wilson explores how radical community media from the 1970s and 1980s, including Castlemilk Today, The Gorbals View and The Easterhouse Voice, served as organising tools for tenant struggles, helped working-class to challenge power, satirised urban policy, and showcased poetry from local writers.
