Join me for an epic hour-long walk around the historic heart of the largest city in Scotland: Glasgow! Taking in the sights from the ornate Merchant City to the banks of the River Clyde, the old medieval core at Glasgow Cross, along the magnificent Buchanan Street and so much more, we barely scratch the surface of this magnificent metropolis over the course of 63 minutes!
On our walk around Glasgow, we pass countless amazing landmarks full of history, including George Square, Glasgow City Chambers, Glasgow Cenotaph, the Scott Monument, Gallery of Modern Art, The Duke of Wellington statue (with a cone on his head!), Buchanan Street, Princes Square shopping arcade, Argyle Street, Glasgow Central Station, St. Enoch Square, St. Enoch Subway Station, a mural of Billy Connolly, the River Clyde, South Portland Street Suspension Bridge, Metropolitan Cathedral of St. Andrew, Victoria Bridge, The Briggait, St. Enoch Centre, Saltmarket, The High Court of Justiciary in Glasgow, Glasgow Green, the McLennan Arch, St. Andrew's in the Square, Glasgow Cross, the Tolbooth Steeple, Glasgow Mercat Cross, Trongate, Tron Kirk Steeple, the Fruitmarket buildings, Hutchesons' Hall, Ingram Street, General Post Office Buildings, Glasgow Queen Street Station, St. George's Tron Church, the former Scottish Stock Exchange buildings, Buchanan Street Subway Station, Buchanan Galleries, The Glasgow Royal Concert Hall, Sauchiehall Street, the former Empire Theatre, St Andrew House, Cineworld Glasgow, Castle Chambers, and George Square once again.
