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...

5.00This was a really fun tour. Richard had interesting and amusing stories to tell and I was impressed by how considerate he was of both the attendees and passers by. We definitely got to see bits of Glasgow that we wouldn't have seen without it.
Fun and Entertaining Tour!

5.00Our guide was funny, engaging and considerate of the groups needs. He had entertaining stories and interacted with the everyone in the group. He had great projection with a nice Scotish accent. One of the better ghost tours I've been on. Definitely worth the money!

5.00Our guide was hilarious. Cracking jokes and telling stories is my favorite part of any tour. Some walking but not so much that it was a workout or felt like to much for anyone in our group
Great tour and lovely tour guide

5.00Had a great afternoon tour with Richard, who achieved an entertaining mix of funny stories and interesting history - with a spooky/gruesome slant. Worth the admission fee, but seems like Where Now Tours may give a better deal to the guides - so would recommend using them. It lasted about 90 mins. Tour size was ~ 15 people, which worked well. A bigger size might make it harder to hear at times due to road traffic etc.
Glasgow Ghosties!
