Glasgow: The Dark Side Tour
Back for the sixth year after five sell outs, come and explore the dark history of Glasgow with Walking Tours In Glasgow!
About Glasgow: The Dark Side Tour
Uncover Glasgow’s secrets and skeletons; from unsolved true crime murders and tales of notorious prison inmates, to grave robbing and 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.
Tour highlights:
The last hanging in Scotland
The inspiration behind Frankenstein
Grave robbers
Bible John
Duke Street Prison
The Resurrectionists
The Gorbals Vampire
…& much more!
