Who Will Be Remembered Here: Queer Spaces in Scotland

Cover page with book title and list of authors

Queerness weaves through Scotland’s past, but it is largely intangible and absent from accounts of what came before us. By making invisible stories visible, Who Will Be Remembered Here captures something of the richness, complexity and beauty of a history that belongs to all of us.

In this collection, fourteen authors explore the places and spaces which define their queer history – wherever has meaning for them. From theatres and hillsides to amusement arcades and libraries, Who Will Be Remembered Here reconsiders and reimagines the built and natural environment through a queer lens, to uncover stories full of hope and humanity.
