Discover the darker side of Glasgow on this 1.5-hour walking tour with a local guide. Known for its turbulent past, Glasgow holds secrets shaped by industry, working-class life, and even gangs operating from ice-cream vans. This tour takes you through the city’s shadowed history—some events centuries old, others more recent, and some still unfolding today.


Hear chilling stories of unsolved murders, notorious inmates, and Glasgow’s foundations built on the back of slavery. This tour shines a light on the city’s hidden past, revealing a side of Glasgow few ever see. For the best experience, we recommend taking the tour in the evening, though late-night tours on Saturdays are unavailable due to busy nightlife in the area.
