What you can expect

  • A city well-known for its turbulent past, Glasgow has a lot of secrets. Built by industry, shaped by its working class, and run by gangs operating out of ice-cream vans. This 1.5 hour tour with a local guide will take you on a walk in the darker side of Glasgow’s history - some centuries ago, some decades, and some still happening in the city today.

    From unsolved murders to tales of notorious inmates and Glasgow’s foundations as a city built on the back of slavery, this tour will bring our dark past into light as you discover a different side to this iconic city.

    We recommend taking this tour in the evening darkness for full effect! We cannot do late night tours on Saturday nights as the area we walk are too full of bars.

    Key sights include:
    Glasgow Cathedral & Necropolis (City of the Dead!)
    Blackfriar's
    Tolbooth Prison
    The Clyde & The Slave Trade
    Vampire of the Gorbals
    …and many, many more!
