About This Tour
Glasgow's West End is the neighbourhood travel writers reach for the word 'bohemian' to describe — leafy, intellectual, cobbled, faintly cheeky, and stitched together with more stories per square metre than just about anywhere in Britain. This three-hour, 3.5 kilometre self-guided audio walk takes you through every corner of it — Tenements, Towers and Tall Stories from start to finish.
