In the first Cinema City audio tour our host John Cavanagh sets off down Sauchiehall Street with Gordon Barr, Editor of Scottish Cinemas to learn about the wealth of cinema heritage hidden behind the shop façades of one of the city's busiest streets. The tour begins at the Charing Cross end of Sauchiehall Street and heads east. You might be surprised to find that this relatively small area of the city has been packed with cinemas over the years, it is currently home to the world's tallest cinema (Cineworld on Renfrew Street) and can also boast the site of the city's first public film screening (at The Regal in May 1896, now the O2 ABC music venue).
