About this Event

**What Is The Tour?**
Join one of Scotland’s funniest historical tour guides for a light hearted look at the history of Scotland's biggest, most vibrant and funniest city - Glasgow.
We will cover the history of industry, innovation and trade within the second city of the Empire. With tales of unbelievable ingenuity, warmth and humour from the city that brought us some of the world's best comedians - Kevin Bridges, Frankie Boyle, Janey Godley and the king of comedy, Sir Billy Connolly.
Beginning at the iconic traffic cone on top of the Duke of Wellington statue, we will pass the statues of George Square, the inspiring wall murals, the oldest Cathedral in Scotland, and so much more!
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 Royal Mile for several years.
