DISCOVER GLASGOW’S DARK HISTORY THIS HALLOWEEN WEEKEND
Back for our fourth year after sell outs every year, come and explore the dark history of Glasgow!
Do something different on Halloween and discover a different side to the city you live and breathe in. 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 our 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 our locals 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.
