Join us for a guided walk around central Glasgow during which your eyes will be opened to many items which mark the importance that engineering has had in the history and present of the city. Who do you think might have the most statues representing them in Glasgow? Where can you see babies making money? How many sewing machines are there in Buchanan street? Find these and many other odd bits of fascinating information. Suitable for "Geeks" and non-Geeks, families and accompanied children. For safety reasons and so that everyone can hear, the group will be limited to 20 people, including children.
