It started in August 2011 and finishes in January 2012.

Colin McLean, Head of the Heritage Lottery Fund in Scotland, said: "This is a fascinating project which uses the history of the allotment as a catalyst for many different activities. It has provided unique learning opportunities for local schools, volunteers and community groups. It has also produced an amazing record of our heritage which can be shared and passed on to future generations. The Glasgow Allotments Heritage Project is to be congratulated on its commitment to making heritage more accessible and we wish them every success with the event."

The results are now being disseminated including:

• An event showing the results from the Glasgow Heritage Project at the Pearce Institute, Govan on 12 November 2011 from 10am to 4pm.
• A display about Heritage of Glasgow Allotments in the Mitchell Library, Granville Street entrance 4 to 19 November 2011.
• Leaflets for 12 allotment sites have been designed with photos and quotes showing the past, present and future of their sites.
