Important information

What to bring

  • Comfortable shoes
  • Water
  • Weather-appropriate clothing

Not allowed

  • Unaccompanied minors

Know before you go

  • Glasgow is a city famous for its rain and the weather can turn in a split-second, so please check the forecast and come prepared as the tour will go ahead rain or shine.
  • This tour contains graphic descriptions of crimes and gory details as well as swearing (the ghosts are Scottish after all) so is not suitable for young children.
  • All ages 15+ are welcome but anyone under the age of 18 must be accompanied by an adult.
  • The tour involves roughly 70 minutes of walking, and there are few opportunities to sit down. The route is step-free with one slightly steep hill both up and down. The pub at the end is not wheelchair accessible inside but does have outside seating. There are cobblestones on the route that may affect those with mobility devices, so please let us know beforehand that you're coming as we can make a slight change to the route that avoids these while still containing all the stops.
