About

Radical Glasgow Tours are Katherine Mackinnon, Henry Bell and David Lees. We research, create and deliver interactive walking tours of Glasgow, exploring histories of activism, protest, political and social change.

Our regular public tours are currently off for the winter! They’ll be back in early 2026 but in the meantime you can arrange private tours year round – have a look at this page for more details of our tours and how to book.

Sign up to our mailing list to be informed when new tours are open for booking.

Buy RGT badges and get tour vouchers in our shop.

Have a look through our list of tours and the Resources page for further reading, downloadable resources and links. You can also read about the tours in the Scottish Left Review – Radical History is in the Streets.

Keep up with us on Instagram – here are our latest posts:

Today - 13th of January - is the feast day of Saint Mungo, one of Glasgow's patron saints alongside his mother Saint Thenew. This mural of him on the High Street by @smugone is from 2016, and shows Mungo with a robin. One of his miracles was bringing a robin which had been killed by his classmates back to life - this is the bird which features on the city's coat of arms and is referred to in the famous rhyme: Our shop is back open, for all your radical tat needs including badges and tour vouchers.
