Glasgow Private Walking tour

Discover Glasgow's Victorian elegance, George Square's history, and vibrant Buchanan Street. Explore unique gems like the Lighthouse, unveiling the city's rich rise and proud heritage.
Welcome to the largest city in Scotland, a truly unique place. Its architecture and history make this city breathe sophistication and earthiness and the last decades have made this city become one of Britain's most intriguing metropolises. Its Victorian legacy, the product of the wealth generated in trade and manufacturing industries makes the centre seem dignified but misleadingly staid. Learn the story behind George Square, once a hollow filled with stagnant water that gathered there from a slaughterhouse built on the marshes next to it. Drained between the 18th and 19th centuries, to build the houses on its east and west sides and named after King George III, it became the centre of merchant activity with the construction of the Merchants House Customs and Exchange building in 1850. Pass Buchanan Street, the second busiest shopping thoroughfare in the UK, second only to Oxford Street in London. View the Glasgow Royal Concert Hall, inaugurated in 1990. A rubber skin sound-proofing system was built into the floor, so that the noise of the subway trains cannot be heard during concerts. It is the home of the Royal Scottish National Orchestra. Explore the Lighthouse and find out what a lighthouse is doing here, so far away from the sea. This walk in the centre of this proud working-class city will lead you to discover the reasons behind the rise of Glasgow, its backbone and its proud heritage.
