This is the perfect tour for visitors who want to discover a different side of Glasgow!
Glasgow's famous murals
Glasgow’s first mural was made over a decade ago in 2008, where the collection slowly grew and turned into its own mural trail in 2014. Some of the famous murals that you’ll see on the trail include:
- Saint Mungo – made by Australian artist Smug, this beautiful, realism-style piece depicts Glasgow’s patron saint Mungo in modern clothing.
- Strathclyde University’s “Wonderwall” mural – there are three different murals that tell the story of Strathclyde Universities’ famous alumni, celebrating the diversity of its international community and students.
- Fellow Glasgow Residents – one of Glasgow’s biggest murals, this massive piece depicts all of the animals that can be found in Glasgow’s parks and green spaces, from foxes, deer, squirrels and badgers.
Celebrating Glasgow’s past, but focusing mainly on Glasgow today, the same company also runs a number of other unique walking tours, including The Dark Side of Glasgow, the Mackintosh tour and the Glasgow Film tour.
