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 United Kingdom , and not so many decades ago it was one of the most important cities of the Industrial Revolution , although today only vestiges of that past remain. Join us on this journey through the history of its streets and people, its buildings and architecture, its stories and anecdotes , but, above all, join us for 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 with them the Scottish Enlightenment of the 18th century. We'll take a tour of the Industrial Revolution that took this metropolis to the top of the world , up to the most majestic years of the Victorian era, where we'll talk about one of its greatest architects: Charles Rennie Mackintosh.

We will walk along the banks of the River Clyde , the reason for the existence of this city, and where we will discover hidden secrets , to head to the old Tollbooth.

We will climb towards Glasgow Cathedral , the oldest cathedral in Scotland , where we will tell the story of Saint Mungo , patron saint of the city, and his miracles, ending 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 booked separately, if they come together, a £10 payment per person will be required to the guide at the start of the tour.
