Mobile ticket

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 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

10 minutes•Admission Not Applicable

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...

Our guide, Mark, was engaging and funny, and even had the ability to remember everyone’s names! It was really impressive! The tour itself was the perfect length and interesting. Mark did a wonderful job explaining the myths and, when appropriate, the true history.
