The tour begins on George Square as the city’s sandstone facades cool and the evening light thins. A guide in bright orange steps forward and urges the group along curving lanes and broad civic boulevards, pointing out carved stone, a mural of St Mungo, and the Tolbooth steeple that watches over old High Street.
