The University of Glasgow Students' Representative Council runs historical walking tours of the University campus that include information on the foundation, history, architecture and alumni of the University.

Tours are around 45 minutes to an hour in duration and take place mainly outdoors.

Meeting Point

Your guide will meet you at the East Undercroft (the lowest floor of the area marked A12 on the attached map below) just prior to the 12.30pm on both dates. This is beside the Gift Shop and directly next to a diorama of campus.

A reminder that this is primarily an outdoor, walking tour, so please be mindful to wear weather-appropriate attire. The Instagram reel - in the GDODF website event listing - shows the route to the meeting point from Hillhead subway station.

The reel follows one of our guides as the walk along Byres Road and University Avenue, where a number of buses also stop.

Our office number is (+44) 01413305360 and our phone lines are open 9.30am-5pm, Monday-Friday.

Please note that the tours will leave at the scheduled time, if anyone is late there is unfortunately a chance the tour will leave without them.

Join us for this special one-off free opportunity to experience the tours.‍
