Old Glasgow Series of talks continues with The Great Exhibition of 1901 with speaker Bill Daly.
Dominated by 'The Eastern Palace' with its 180ft high central dome, the Great Exhibition of 1901 was more 'International' than its 1888 predecessor, displaying goods from Persia, Russia, the colonies as well as closer neighbours in Europe and North Africa.

The Golden Angel on top of the dome carried an electric torch; truly a modern marvel.

John Goodlad: The Salt Roads GLASGOW
After his very well received talks last year, John Goodlad returns to RSGS to tell the extraordinary story of how salt fish from Shetland became one of Europe’s staple foods, powered an economic boom, and inspired artists, writers and musicians. For more than 300 years Shetland was at the centre of a fascinating salt-fish trading network that connected these remote islands to the rest of Europe. Based on his best-selling book, The Salt Roads, this captivating story is told through the lives of many remarkable people, the fishers, the merchants, and the exporters; ordinary people who led quite extraordinary lives.
