Overview

Join one of Scotland’s funniest historical tour guides for a light hearted look at the history of the the second city of the British Empire, Glasgow!

We will cover the history of innovation, courage, battles, and the most important thing - the remarkable people that made this city (with extreme bias!) the funniest city in the world.

Beginning at the iconic Duke of Wellington statue and its fetching “hat”, that is the symbol of Glasgow, your tour guide/comedian will tell you tales of the cities 850 plus years of history, before heading towards the City Chambers, the beautiful Glasgow Cathedral, and Necropolis with many other stops on the way.

In between be prepared for some breathtaking tales, dark nights, bright moments, all the time you will be laughing as well as learning.

Our main guide, Ross Leslie, is a 5-time Scottish Comedian of the Year finalist and has been entertaining audiences on stage and on the historic streets for several years.
