David Livingstone Birthplace

The David Livingstone Birthplace is defined by Shuttle Row, a long, category A-listed tenement building that sits on the scenic banks of the River Clyde. Built in the seventeen eighties to house cotton mill workers, this single structure was where David Livingstone was born in eighteen thirteen. He spent his childhood living in a single room here with his parents and siblings while working fourteen-hour days as a piecer in the nearby Blantyre Mills.
