George Square

Radical Glasgow Tours

Take a walk through the histories of protest, activism and defiance that have taken place in the city's George Square.

William Gladstone statue

Join us to learn about some of the many events, actions and iconic moments that have taken place in George Square over the years. From housing protests, asylum dispersal and the raising of the red flag, to utopian poets, rent strikers and tenacious campaigners, this tour explores the ways people have used this central city space to make their voices heard.This tour has been designed with minimal walking. We will make our way around the inner circumference of George Square over the course of 1-1.5hrs. Benches will be available at some points but we cannot guarantee one will be available for every stop.Pricing: we have introduced a small charge for the tours this year, this is mainly to prevent no-shows. If you are able then contributing at the solidarity rate helps cover the costs of researching and delivering the tours, as well as purchasing radical tat/highly important social history artefacts for people to have a look at on the tours. If the cost is in any way a barrier to you taking part, please just drop us a line and we will sort you out with free tickets. Image credits: Miriam Ali, STUC, BBC, Jeremy Sutton Hibbert
