What you'll see and do
Ramshorn Graveyard
The current church was built in 1824, and was converted to a theatre in the 1980s. The peaceful graveyard to its side was the site of one of the strangest graverobbing cases in Scottish history, that of Mrs Janet McAllister and her missing bones

Tron Theatre
Another converted church, this time from 1523. Hear about what ghosts you might encounter while treading its boards, and why you shouldn't spend too long alone in the back two rows of the auditorium...
10 minutes here
Tolbooth Steeple
A unique part of Glasgow's architecture since the 1600s. Witches were held in cells in the clocktower, and dozens of people met their end by hanging in front of the beautiful tower.
10 minutes here
University of Strathclyde
The site of the former University of Glasgow annex where a doctor may have inspired the first science fiction story ever written, and where the dead sometimes don't stay that way...
10 minutes here
Friends Of Glasgow Royal Infirmary Museum
A beautiful pre-Victorian hospital, where a famous name in medical history made a frightening discovery, and where some patients never checked out, even after they passed away...
10 minutes here
Glasgow Cathedral
Glasgow's oldest building holds some very strange secrets in its walls, and especially in its crypt. The beautiful but spooky graveyard in particular has some stories to unearth...
10 minutes here
The Friends of Glasgow Necropolis
A jewel in Glasgow's crown. This nineteenth century cemetery was the setting for some spooky encounters, haunted statues, and even a real-life bloodsucker!
10 minutes here
Apparently the most haunted hotel in Scotland. Discover why you should ask for a room below the top floor, just in case...
10 minutes here
Though this pub is very open about having no ghosts, they certainly have spirits. Finish here for a wee pint to calm the nerves.

Why this scores 84
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Glasgow Ghouls, Ghosts and Gruesome Tales Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Glasgow.
How much does Glasgow Ghouls, Ghosts and Gruesome Tales Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $18 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Glasgow usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Glasgow Ghouls, Ghosts and Gruesome Tales Tour take?
+
Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Glasgow is not rushed.
Is Glasgow Ghouls, Ghosts and Gruesome Tales Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 84 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 138 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most highly reviewed in Glasgow, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Glasgow Ghouls, Ghosts and Gruesome Tales Tour?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Glasgow Ghouls, Ghosts and Gruesome Tales Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 15. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 2-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Glasgow Ghouls, Ghosts and Gruesome Tales Tour?
+
Around 48 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Glasgow can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Glasgow and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Glasgow Ghouls, Ghosts and Gruesome Tales Tour start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Glasgow within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Glasgow?
+
On Outty we rank every Glasgow experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Gander Walking Tours in Glasgow, Celtic Park Tour & Dine Package, Glasgow Street Art & Murals Walking Tour with a Local Guide. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Glasgow?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Glasgow?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
