Embark on the Kelvin to Canvas: Glasgow’s Creative Corridor Audio Tour

Beneath Glasgow’s grand sandstone and smoky skies, secrets hide in every cobbled corner—whispered tales of rebellion, rivalry, and riotous celebration still echo through its most storied streets. Trace this city’s heartbeat on a self-guided audio tour, wandering from the debating thunder of Glasgow University Union to hidden marvels near Kelvinbridge subway and the opulent curves of the Park District.

What mysterious code does Daft Friday conceal behind Union walls? Who risked everything at midnight when floodwaters threatened Kelvinbridge’s deep tunnels? Which Park District townhouse once held meetings that shook Scottish football—and what remains there today?

Stride through stories of defiant protests, lavish masked balls, forgotten rivalries, and improbable triumphs. Every step reveals another layer—the laughter of students, shadows of political plots, and whispers carried by river mist.

Ready to lift the veil on Glasgow’s hidden history? Begin now—and let these legendary streets rewrite the city you thought you knew.
