Your kind of afternoon

Find the Glasgow between the landmarks.

Glasgow’s West End reveals itself in layers: a tucked-away lane, a sudden view, a path beside the Kelvin. This walk gives the quieter corners as much attention as the handsome buildings.

Six stops make a loop from Hillhead Subway, with art, green space and places to browse along the way. Stories, missions and a playlist help you settle into the neighbourhood’s rhythm.

Out on the walk

What you'll do on the walk

Wander creative lanes and grand old stone, follow your own interests through the Hunterian, then drop down to the Kelvin Walkway, where the city slows to the pace of the river.
