Glasgow Audio Tour: Merchant City Gems
Beneath Merchant City’s polished stone, Glasgow’s old nerve still twitches. A theatre whisper away from a riot. A tolbooth that once decided who walked free. This self guided audio tour threads past Tron Theatre, Glasgow Tolbooth, St Andrew's by the Green and more. Hear the stories on the move and spot the corners most visitors never notice. What happened when power turned brutal behind the Tolbooth doors and the city held its breath. Which secret bargains and scandals slipped through Merchant City’s closes after dark. Why does St Andrew's by the Green keep turning up in records so oddly specific it reads like a warning. Follow the cobbles from stage lights to prison shadows, from quiet churchyard to loud streets. Expect political battles, rebellions, mysteries and forgotten moments that change how Glasgow looks and sounds. Press play and chase the twitch in the stone.
