Glasgow Ghouls, Ghosts and Gruesome Tales Tour
Get ready to dig up Glasgow's ghoulish history. Meet your guide, a local comedian 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 in Glasgow Ghouls, Ghosts and Gruesome Tales Tour
(Subject to Option Inclusions)Itinerary
Ramshorn Graveyard
The current church was built in 1824, and was converted to a theatre in the 1980s. The peaceful graveyard to its side was the site of one of the strangest graverobbing cases in Scottish history, that of Mrs Janet McAllister and her missing bones
Tron Theatre
Another converted church, this time from 1523. Hear about what ghosts you might encounter while treading its boards, and why you shouldn't spend too long alone in the back two rows of the auditorium...
Tolbooth Steeple
A unique part of Glasgow's architecture since the 1600s. Witches were held in cells in the clocktower, and dozens of people met their end by hanging in front of the beautiful tower.
