Went on late afternoon tour on 2 March which meant it was not dark. However, whilst the natural assumption would be that the theme of the walk would be undermined by daylight, that was not the case as the guide was local and clearly knowledgable on the topic, with a good story telling style coupled with dark humour. The added bonus of a Glaswegian guide was that he knew a lot about the city in many other respects, which for a visitor like myself provided Added Value to the experience.
