9: Geoffrey Shaw

Geoff Shaw

Geoff Shaw had the highest public profile of any in the Family Tree. He was ordained as a Church of Scotland minister in the early 1950s and immediately went to live in a flat in the urban slums of the Gorbals in Glasgow, to help the marginalized in the community. This led him into politics and he was elected to Glasgow Corporation, where he soon became its leader. In the Local Government reorganisation in 1975 he became the first Convenor of Strathclyde Regional Council. Overwork and smoking led to a heart attack and he died on 28 April 1978, at the age of 51. His work is remembered by the Geoff Shaw Community Centre in Glasgow, built in 1969.
