This walk starts in George Square, the very centre of Glasgow’s Georgian New Town, an area 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, towards the medieval cathedral, the original heart of Glasgow
Bruce Downie is an author, historian, tour guide and storyteller. He started Historic Walking Tours of Glasgow in 2021 with one clear vision, to share stories about Glasgow’s long and colourful history, stretching back over 1500 years, including some of its famous characters and its magnificent architecture.
Visitors to the city and even local residents, are often encouraged to ‘look up’, to see more of the historic buildings that surround them, particularly from the Victorian and Edwardian era, but there’s so much more to Glasgow than just the architecture.
Join Bruce for a few hours during your visit to discover some fascinating, dramatic and occasionally hilarious stories about Scotland’s biggest city.
