Get ready to dig up Glasgow's ghoulish history. Meet your guide, who will take you on a deep dive into the city's dark and macabre side, and set out on your walking tour.
Listen to tales of grave robbers, witch trials, and even a ghostly chimpanzee as you wander through Glasgow's streets and past haunted locations. See the Strathclyde University, Glasgow Cathedral, the Necropolis cemetery, and more.
Discover some beautiful murals, learn about the oldest surviving music hall in the UK, and end your evening at a famous Glasgow pub, where whisky is far from the only spirit you may encounter.
What's Included
Meeting and pickup
Meet your guide outside Glasgow Catherdal, a large church on Castle Street near the Royal Infirmary and the Necropolis. Your guide will be outside holding a lantern and wearing a black/brown hat. There is a convenience store close by on High Street to pick up water/snacks.
