A cool breeze off the Clyde meets the stone of George Square as your group gathers by the Glasgow City Chambers; the city speaks in statues and stories, and this walk hands them to kids in bite-sized chapters. The route moves from civic grandeur through alleyways bright with mural art, into the shadowed vaults of Glasgow Cathedral, then opens onto the green sweep of Glasgow Green before finishing at the industrial glory of the Riverside Museum and its tall ship.
