Do you want to do the best Tours in Scotland? Well this is your place. After several years working in the tourism sector for leading companies in different locations in the United Kingdom, I decided to embark on this adventure and create “We Are Scotland”, from where we carry out walking tours of Stirling, Edinburgh and Glasgow. This project is born from work, humility and experience in order to make people who visit Scotland feel part of its history and its legends, together with a team of experienced guides passionate about history who will make you want to return. to this wonderful country.

Tour description

Glasgow is currently one of the most visited cities in the UK , and not so long ago it was one of the most important cities of the Industrial Revolution , although today only remnants of that past remain. Join us on this journey through the history of its streets and its people, its buildings and architecture, its stories and anecdotes , but above all, join us to enjoy this adventure with the best guides in Glasgow .

Glasgow was a city of inventions and inventors, so we'll talk about the most important ones, those who brought about the Scottish Enlightenment of the 18th century. We'll take a journey through the Industrial Revolution that propelled this metropolis to the top of the world , all the way to the more stately years of the Victorian era, where we'll discuss one of its great architects: Charles Rennie Mackintosh.

We will stroll along the banks of the River Clyde , the reason for this city's existence, and where we will discover hidden secrets , before heading to the ancient Tollbooth.

We will climb up to Glasgow Cathedral , the oldest cathedral in Scotland , where we will tell the story of St. Mungo , the city's patron saint, and his miracles, to end at the top of its necropolis, with one of the best views of Glasgow.

Come with us!


For groups of more than 6 people, even if bookings are made separately, if you come together it will be necessary to pay the guide £12 per person at the start of the tour.
