Dig a little beneath the surface, and check out the neighborhood things to do. These are the activities locals like to do-and tourists would too, if only they knew about them. But, lucky you, you're plugged in. Have fun.

Mercat walking tours offer a spooktastic Horror Walking Tour. The tour guides channel the macabre of Glasgow with tales of ghosts, murderers, and body snatchers.
