Join one of Scotland’s most entertaining historical tour guides for a delightful exploration of the history of Glasgow, the second city of the British Empire!
The tour will delve into the city’s history of innovation, bravery, battles, and most importantly, the extraordinary individuals who have made this city (with a delightful bias!) the most humorous city in the world.
Starting at the iconic Duke of Wellington statue, adorned with its distinctive “hat,” a symbol of Glasgow, your guide and comedian will share stories from the city’s 850-plus years of history. The tour will then proceed to the City Chambers, the stunning Glasgow Cathedral, and the Necropolis, with many other fascinating stops along the way.
Prepare for captivating tales, dark nights, and bright moments, all while enjoying laughter and learning.
The main guide, Ross Leslie, is a five-time finalist for Scottish Comedian of the Year and has been delighting audiences both on stage and on the historic streets for several years.
