Step into the shadows and uncover Glasgow’s darker side on this fascinating 1.5-hour walking tour with a local expert. Known for its turbulent past, Glasgow hides stories that are as chilling as they are captivating. Built on industry, shaped by its resilient working class, and once ruled by infamous gangs operating out of ice cream vans, the city’s history is filled with intrigue and grit. As you explore with your guide, you’ll delve into the underbelly of Glasgow’s past—where mystery, crime, and legend intertwine to reveal a side of the city few truly know.
Along the way, hear tales of unsolved murders, notorious inmates, and Glasgow’s often-overlooked ties to the slave trade. Learn how these dark chapters have helped shape the modern city, leaving behind echoes that still linger today. From shadowy alleyways to historic sites with sinister stories, this immersive experience sheds light on Glasgow’s haunting history in a way that’s both eye-opening and unforgettable. For the most atmospheric experience, we recommend taking this tour after dusk—though perhaps not on a Saturday night, when the streets are said to be too crowded with drunk ghosts!
