Paul Trainer, editor at Glasgowworld.com, says:

"Throughout 2025 we will be focusing on communities across the city and celebrating individual achievements. There will be profiles on local heroes; the history of music, film and culture in the city; the story behind local food and drink, alongside comprehensive discussions on Glasgow's sense of identity and place in the world.

"Alongside Glasgow 850, we are inviting our neighbours, or anyone who feels a sense of connection to Glasgow, to add their story directly to our community section by adding images and content here. This will then be highlighted in our coverage of Glasgow 850 celebrations. The team are looking forward to working with local businesses, organisations and the citizens of Glasgow to tell local stories on a grand scale."

If you want to share where you are coming from, or where you are going, write a part of the Glasgow 850 celebration in this community project to celebrate local voices.
