Ibrox, James Watt Street, Stockline and Clarkston are names that evoke memories of some of Glasgow's most significant disasters. Other incidents, now less widely remembered, include tragedies arising from the consumption of illicit alcohol and devastating fires in department stores. Together, these events form an important part of Glasgow's social and legal history. While many people are familiar with the headlines surrounding these disasters, the passage of time can diminish understanding of their human impact and of the efforts made to establish what happened. Public inquiries and legal investigations have played a vital role in uncovering facts, identifying lessons, and promoting changes designed to prevent similar tragedies from recurring. This interactive session will explore a range of major incidents from Glasgow's past, examining not only the events themselves but also their wider historical significance. You will gain insight into how public inquiries, Fatal Accident Inquiries, and other legal processes contribute to public understanding, accountability, and improvements in public safety. Join us to discover how the study of disaster can deepen our understanding of Glasgow's history, the development of the law, and the enduring importance of learning lessons from the past.
