About this event

Join me for a tour that explores the history, architecture and culture of Glasgow, an ancient city with a modern heart. There is so much to explore and so many places to visit. The walk starts in George Square, the very centre of Glasgow’s Georgian New Town, known today as The Merchant City, then onto Queen Street, along Ingram Street and down Candleriggs towards the Trongate and Glasgow Cross, then onto High Street, the main thoroughfare of Medieval Glasgow and then back towards the Merchant City.

(This tour is free to book, but donations are welcome and encouraged after the tour. The tour guide will have a cash machine available, so no need to carry cash)
