What to expect

Glasgow has a reputation for warmth and welcome. This tour explores everything hiding underneath it.

From George Square to the Scotia Bar, the route cuts through the heart of a city with centuries of dark history tucked behind its handsome Victorian facades. You will hear about grave robbers, haunted hotels, and what became of Glasgow's executed criminals long after the gallows were done with them.

The tour also uncovers the real story behind a University of Strathclyde experiment that may have planted the seed for one of literature's most enduring monsters.

GPS delivers each story at exactly the right moment, triggered by your location rather than a timer. Download the tour beforehand, and it runs without any signal at all, through graveyards and cathedral grounds alike.

The walk takes around an hour and covers some of Glasgow's most striking landmarks, seen in a light most visitors never get to experience.
