Sounds of Maryhill

Maryhill Burgh Halls Trust is committed to collecting and making accessible the heritage of the Burgh Halls and Maryhill area. Our heritage projects and activities have interpreted Maryhill’s heritage through tours, workshops, walks, performances and exhibitions. We have worked with artists, conservators, historians and volunteers to uncover Maryhill’s history and deliver innovative and creative projects to share the area’s rich and diverse story.

The Sounds of Maryhill project was originated by a local Glasgow artist, Aya Iguchi-Sherry in 2016. Aya and the Trust worked with schools, residential groups and the local health centre to collect sound recordings from the Maryhill area, which they felt represented where they lived.  The project explored the relationship between people, sound, place and everyday life, and to increase awareness of the local environment by collecting sounds. The collected sounds were then synced onto a Sound Map of the area, creating an innovative interpretation of Maryhill’s heritage.
