Overview

This is a journey through the city’s darker streets, stranger stories and more unsettling past. 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. With your own local guide, uncover the murders, criminals, prisons, ghosts, gangs and grim tales that have shaped Glasgow over the centuries. Walk through the historic streets around Glasgow Cathedral, the old prison quarter and the Clyde, hearing stories of notorious inmates, unsolved murders, grave robbing, the Gorbals Vampire and Glasgow’s connections to the slave trade. And this isn’t just history… some of these stories are surprisingly recent.
