About This Tour
Take flight (on foot!) with Robin, the Bird That Never Flew, Glasgow’s cheeky, time-travelling guide. For centuries, Robin has perched, listened, and watched the city grow from sacred roots to industrial powerhouse… and now she’s ready to share her stories. Blending myth, memory, and plenty of Glaswegian gallusness, this immersive walking tour swoops through 850 years of history. From saints and queens to doctors, gypsies, artists and everyday folk, Robin shows how it’s always been the people who truly make Glasgow.
