The Festival was now in full swing.
Over the next 150 days, Glaswegians, visitors and
celebrities would flock to the Festival Site.
Some would visit every single day! |
 |
| After entering the ticket
gates at the southern end of Bell's Bridge the visitor encountered
the fully restored 1914 "Overtoun Bandstand" which featured
a daily schedule of musical events. |
 |
The "Victorian High Street"
lay beyond.
Here, over 20 retail outlets, ranging from cafes and
restaurants to shops selling traditional Scottish crafts offered
the visitor the very best in Scottish fare. |
| |
At the end of the street lay the Festival
Railway line and "The Rendezvous" - the central focus of
the park. |
|

|
From here paths radiated out to each
of the 6 main sectors of the Festival Site.
Each visitor had their favourite section. "Health
& Wellbeing"; "Water & Maritime"; "Recreation
& Sport"; "Landscape & Scenery"; "Science
& Technology"; "Plants & Food". |
| |
No matter your age or your ability there
was something for everyone at the Festival. |
|
| Main avenues and never before encountered
"hidden" paths meant that visitors never tired of exploring
the site.
Spring bulbs gave way to summer flowers as the seasons
moved on and throughout the entire event the gardens were kept in
impeccable condition. |
