The 4th of our Skye's Walk Caches Hugh MacDonald's Gate
Hugh Macdonald was one of Glasgow’s great journalists. He wrote the famous book ‘Rambles Around Glasgow’ which was aimed at discouraging people spending too much time in shebeens and drinking houses in an attempt to encourage them to pursue a healthier lifestyle going for walks in the countryside around Glasgow. The book was popular and reprinted in several editions. A memorial fountain was installed on Glasgow Green in 1881.
