Legacies of Slavery in Glasgow Museums and Collections
#SlaveryMadeGlasgow
Our blog contains posts by Glasgow Museums’ curatorial team highlighting examples of the links between our collections and slavery.
Cathkin House and Slavery
In 1870, James Maclehose published a volume of photographs entitled Old Country Houses of the Old Glasgow Gentry. The photographs were taken by Thomas Annan (1829 - 1887), and the text, by John Guthrie Smith and John Oswald Mitchell, catalogued the stories of the families who lived in them. Tom Devine has commented that “they were essentially uncritical hagiographies, silent on the slavery roots of much of the city’s economic eminence and the role of the merchant adventurers whose profits, derived in large measure from the slave-based transatlantic economies, had caused Glasgow to flourish.”

International connections allowed learning, trade, culture and art to flourish. This powerful heritage is a dynamic and vibrant force that is both deeply rooted in tradition and also imaginative, innovative and constantly evolving both within the continent and amongst its many and varied Diasporas.
