Overview

Mobile ticket
Get ready to dig up Glasgow's ghoulish history. Meet your guide, 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 To Expect
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...

Interesting, fun and sometimes myth-busting walking tour

5.00Our knowledgeable guide Isla gave us an interesting, fun and sometimes myth-busting walking tour, which covered the Cathedral, Royal Infirmary, Necropolis and other historic sites on the edges of Glasgow City Centre. The Sunday afternoon tour was aided by glorious weather and some comfortable walking shoes. Isla provided some great sightseeing ideas for future visits. If you've got a couple of hours free it's highly recommended

5.00We had the best time! I mean it, this was a blast. Such a fun tour, with a lot of great information and stories. The walking was very manageable and Isla really knows her stuff. I was quite nervous about walking through the necropolis and hearing ghost stories at night, but I am a total chicken. That being said, I would do this again in a heartbeat.
Great time in the rain !

5.00Absolutely incredible! Our tour guide, Mark, was so knowledgeable and so funny! He had us all belly laughing. He remembered all of our names which was so lovely! The tour itself was fantastic! Walking around eerie parts of Glasgow with some brilliant tales and facts along the way. We took some beautiful photos. I would have loved to walk deeper into the Necropolis but it just gives me an excuse to come back! Would 100% recommend. Its dark and different and just brilliant! Thanks Mark 😊
