Abstract
The history of Turkey red dyeing in Glasgow and the West of Scotland is a complex and multi-faceted story encompassing economics, social and working conditions, international trade, and the rapid rise in industrialisation during the nineteenth century. As part of a project at the University of Glasgow exploring the chemistry of Turkey red dyeing for conservation and reproduction purposes, this article outlines the historical, geographic, and social context for the textile dyeing and printing as well as recent publications and exhibitions about Turkey red to highlight its significance to Scottish cultural heritage.
