Volunteers with sight loss to conduct tour
A TOUR of Kelvingrove Park led by people with sight loss and visual impairment, designed by the artistic director of Terra Icognita, Victoria Beesley, will take place next month.
Beesley has been working with a group of visually impaired volunteers to create the new tour.
As I See It Is has been made in partnership with the Arches and funded by Awards for all and Glasgow Arts and tour guides have explored the relationship that they have with Glasgow.
The project will culminate in them leading an audience of a maximum of 10 people for each Walking Tour on November 8.
The tours will also be available as an audio download so the walks and stories of the participants will be available for audiences to listen to independently when they can.

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers.
