Glasgow's Music Mile Walking Tour
Explore Glasgow's famous music scene with a two hour guided walk around the city's music mile.
From the Royal Concert Hall to the famous King Tut’s, via Glasgow's Conservatoire, this is a whistle-stop guide around the city centre, an area teeming with music venues past and present.
Glasgow has an unrivalled reputation for producing brilliant bands, making memorable music and putting on unforgettable shows. Walk with us and we will show you why.
The guides are enthusiastic music fans, performers and writers who are immersed in Glasgow’s cultural life.
A little over a mile in length, the Music Mile tour covers diverse genres and eras from dancehall and traditional jazz to punk, pop, and today's guitar heroes.
It has plenty of detail for the dedicated music fans but, like all our tours, it is packed with great stories that will entertain the casual fan who wants a different way to see the city.

The Glasgow Royal Concert Hall
This is home to the Royal Scottish National Orchestra and Celtic Connections - the world's biggest winter music festival. While here, we time travel back and hear tales from the heyday of the Empire. A former neighbour of the Concert Hall, the Empire is long gone but its fierce reputation for having the UK's most critical and passionate audience lives on.
The Pavilion Theatre
The Pavillion has hosted everyone from Houdini and Charlie Chaplin to Sydney Devine, Glasgow's very own rhinestone cowboy. The former Odeon gets a mention here. First and foremost a cinema, it was also a stomping ground for bands like The Beatles, Little Richard and The Rolling Stones.
Royal Conservatoire of Scotland
At the Conservatoire, your guide has plenty of stories about associated hobbits, Outlander stars, Dr Who actors and even Bob Dylan, an unlikely fan of the bagpipes.
