Gifted to the people of the city by King James II in 1450, Glasgow Green is Scotland's oldest public park. It’s the site where Bonnie Prince Charlie's army camped in the year of the rebellion against English rule in 1745; where upwards of 40,000 people met in the first quarter of the nineteenth century to demand more representative government from the British Parliament; and where another 100,000 gathered in the mid nineteenth century under the banner of the Chartists.
