Sharing Cowlairs

What is Sharing Cowlairs?

Sharing Cowlairs is an arts, ecology and community project, creatively responding to ‘vacant and derelict’ land in Possilpark, North Glasgow. It is a collaboration between local residents, organisations, and artists Saffy Setohy and Margaret Kerr. At the heart of the project is ‘the triangle’, a well-loved brick structure within Cowlairs Park. Over time we are regenerating this into Cowlairs labyrinth and garden, a place for rest, peace and play. Click the button to find the labyrinth on maps.
