Overview

A walk in the city exploring Glasgow's culture, life, art and diversity with the famous street art of the Glasgow Murals Trail which forms a route around the city.

Devised by Glasgow City Council many different local artists were commissioned to create their own street art celebrating the life and history of Glasgow. Hence dull alleyways, street corners and tenement walls, have become impressive colourful displays of public art.

The Murals Trail is an opportunity to explore the city and experience the fascinating unique paintings  depicting intricate imagery, huge portraits, bizarre and quirky art and youth storytelling through the medium of graffiti.

The walk starts 10.00am at the Glasgow Royal Concert Hall, Buchanan Street by the Donald Dewar statue. It takes in the Merchant City, Cowcaddens, Anderston, Tradeston and Townhead.
