Discover the dark history of Glasgow

With flexible meeting and end points, and a dedicated local guide, maximise your time in Glasgow on a private tour.

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 the cities dark past into light as you discover a different side to this iconic city.

To have an enriched experience, We'd recommend you have your tour in the evening for full effect!

We recommend taking this tour in the evening darkness for full effect! It’s not always possible in the summer (10pm sunsets!) but that won’t dampen your experience.
