SPECIAL HALLOWEEN EVENT!

The perfect way to get some spooky vibes on the Halloween weekend, explore the real dark side of Glasgow and learn things you've never heard about with your Glasgow guide. Uncover Glasgow's secrets and skeletons; from unsolved true crime murders, to tales of notorious prison inmates, to grave robbing and general mischief, and to Glasgow’s foundations as a city built on the back of slavery.

This 1.5 hour special event tour will bring our dark past into light as you discover a unique side to this iconic city. 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, there's so much to learn from Glasgow's dark history.

This 1.5 hour tour with a local guide will take you on a walk in the darker side of our history, some centuries ago, some decades ago, and some still happening in the city today. You never know what you might encounter this Halloween!
