glasgow the dark side halloeen tour

31 October – 3 November, 2024

Do something different on Halloween and discover a different side to the city you live and breathe in. Uncover Glasgow’s secrets and skeletons; from unsolved true crime murders and tales of notorious prison inmates, to grave robbing and Glasgow’s foundations as a city built on the back of slavery. This 1.5 hour special event tour will bring our dark past into light as you discover a unique side to our iconic city.

A city well-known for its turbulent past, Glasgow has a lot of secrets. Built by industry, shaped by its working class, and run by gangs operating out of ice-cream vans, there’s so much to learn from Glasgow’s dark history.

This 1.5 hour tour with locals will take you on a walk in the darker side of Glasgow’s history, some centuries ago, some decades ago, and some still happening in the city today.

Tour highlights:

  • The last hanging in Scotland
  • The inspiration behind Frankenstein
  • Grave robbers
  • Bible John
  • Duke Street Prison
  • The Resurrectionists
  • The Gorbals Vampire
    …& much more!
