- GLASGOW | A silent walk around the city of Glasgow, Scotland including George Square, Sauchiehall Street, Buchanan Street, Merchant City and more!
Also watch Edinburgh - • EDINBURGH ROYAL MILE F...
Where to start but right in the heart of it all! From global events to people watching, the historic George Square has been a focal point for the city for generations. Beautiful buildings line the square, none more majestic than the City Chambers. Take a peak inside and find Instagram-worthy interiors, including a marble staircase.
The streets Glasgow city centre are an attraction in their own right due to their architectural grandeur. Head in any direction from George Square and stumble upon one elegant street after another, each lined with some of the UK's best-preserved Victorian architecture.
Glasgow Merchant city is steeped in history and is home to some of the city's oldest sites, including the likes of the Tolbooth Steeple, a 17th century landmark.
Former warehouses, grand mansions from the 1700s and produce markets of the 1900s are enjoying new lives as some of the city’s best boutiques, galleries, arts hubs, independent bars and restaurants.
Glasgow Shopping
From independent stores to high street retailers, Glasgow is the best shopping city.
Glasgow's city centre is home to flagship stores, impressive shopping centres and designer favourites all within an easily walkable area. The city is also rich in artists and creators which makes for a thriving and exciting independent shopping scene.
Glasgow is renowned for its shopping scene. The main pedestrianised street Buchanan Street, and surrounding streets, make up a square mile of fantastic shopping!
Buchanan Street is book-ended by St. Enoch Centre and Buchanan Galleries - huge malls housing the best high street brands. St. Enoch Centre is a family-friendly shopping and entertainment destination, while Buchanan Galleries is home to a range of shops from The Lego Store to John Lewis to the independent Scottish Design Exchange, where 100% of profits go directly to the local makers and creators of the products.
Nestled in the heart of Buchanan Street you’ll also find Princes Square, a speciality shopping mall that houses designer shops, restaurants, bars and a boutique cinema; the original House of Frasers store that has a history dating back to 1849; and Argyll Arcade, widely regarded as the finest jewellery centre in Scotland.
And it's not just the arts organisations who have taken up residence in former mansions. Exclusive retailers like Ralph Lauren, Emporio Armani and Cruise can be found on Ingram Street - a street that The New York Times described as 'confidently Glaswegian and instinctually international'. Off this thoroughfare, are some great little side streets, full of restaurants and bars. Check out Brunswick Street, Hutcheson Street, Miller Street, and the cobbled, fairy-lit Virginia Court, for some of the best city eateries, many of which have great outdoor spaces.
Glasgow is a port city on the River Clyde in Scotland's western Lowlands. It's famed for its Victorian and art nouveau architecture, a rich legacy of the city's 18th-20th-century prosperity due to trade and shipbuilding. Today it's a national cultural hub, home to institutions including the Scottish Opera, Scottish Ballet and National Theatre of Scotland, as well as acclaimed museums and a thriving music scene.

Go under Central Station Bridge at night the place is like war torn Africa absolute shite hole
@@G2020- have u tried going to SECC under that walkway… shit yer pants 🩲… seriously dodgy !!
As a Scottish citizen and proud to be Glaswegian I can only say that I love my city! Visit Glasgow and you will see how a city full of life, special, wonderful, that knows how to welcome those who visit us!
Yes!!! I LOVE Glasgow and can’t wait to be back in summer!!
@@GimbalWalkTV Glad to know your love for this fantastic city! Mòran taing!
You must be drunk, sauchiehall street looks like world war z set never left it a love this city aswell but its went downhill over long period, violence down yet poverty up
It's an absolute shite hole, 15 year old tried to sell me smack not too long ago outside central. Lots of history wasted on a nation of alcoholics and junkies
@@kris2672 yeah it’s a depressing and run down so sad it’s deteriorated so much.
Worked in Glasgow in 1974 and must say it has changed a lot for the better since I was there. A lovely City.
It’s sublime isn’t it!
Beautiful city - proud to be a Glaswegian!!!
What an excellent walk tour of Glasgow thank you for sharing a great experience ❤️
Thank you Bill!
Glasgow was the first city in Europe I really got to explore, during my first visit in December of 1995, and has been my favorite ever since. I took my husband there for his first visit in March of 2017 and he fell in love with it too. Yeah; Edinburgh will always be the "pretty" part of Scotland but to me, Glasgow will always be the "real" Scotland that tourists seem to discount. If it weren't so difficult to emigrate to the UK and set up residency, I would move there in a second! Thanks for the video!
Awesome to have walked with you, great mix of old n new buildings to be seen.
They do love a wee march in Glasgow. With their tiny flutes and snare drums. Adorable 😂
@@ferrers88 How?
I enjoyed this video. Lots of buildings/architecture to look at, the streets were interesting with bricks/paving of different colours. Some parts looked cared for & others less so. Lots of police 🚔 which I'm not used to seeing. Lots of statues which I enjoyed.
a few streets missed out in this with some amazing buildings that are truly worth seeing in person , the scottish legal life assurance building on bothwell street the other building across from it on the corner of bothwell and west Campbell st. The bank of Scotland on st vincent street is one of my favs I love those columns just so impressive and its beautiful inside.
In fact that whole business district has some lovely architecture actually makes a n office job not too bad at least ye can look at nice buildings oot the windae. I love that brutalist looking fortress across from the Queen st station, apparently it was a sub surface vault for the banks of Glasgow city center. Glasgow has some of the best architecture in the world its nae wonder they film here more bang for yer buck.
Great tour! You identified streets which helped a lot!
Fabulous buildings!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Nice walk liked some parts especially the old buildings and the river walk
One of the best walk videos ! Especially due to the captions - enjoyed reading about all the interesting facts
Thank you so much!
Another great & fantastic video of GLASGOW | The city streets of Glasgow Scotland!.💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕
Thank you so much 😀
Not the real Glasgow go film Govan Hill show what the SNP have done to our once proud city. Video the rats that run in our streets show the real Glasgow not the facade.
@@eleanorcrawford9978 Hi Eleanor - I film what's in front of me. I don't do politics and I don't manipulate anything
If you want to discuss politics choose another channel ta x
When I visited Scotland, Glasgow was one city I didn't get to see much of, it is where I flew out of back to The U. S. Alba gu brath SL'AINTE MHATH !
❤️❤️❤️
Good job showing lots of the city it always seems there are never ending building sites dotted all over.
Buildings are awesome. Mini statues above the entrance doors point to old mythical stories. Some of them are romantic enough and have charm even today.
It gives the feeling of elation. Buildings are of grand scale and display grandeur.
So true
@@GimbalWalkTV Glasgow City Centre has romance like feeling in its very air. Glasgow's science centre, BBC office and the calm scerene Clide river flow have a charm which capture everyone's 💓.
Watching this video left me an old man filled with nostalgia. Thanks.
My pleasure!
Indeed Glasgow is great place to visit!!!
Great video and walk. Thank you most enjoyable.
Our pleasure!
I live in Glasgow but I haven't tried that pizza place. I will next time I'm downtown. Glasgow is great! I moved here from the US and married my Scottish husband. So happy to be here! ❤
Oh my word you are in for a TREAT if you go to that pizza place!!
I've never had pizza like it!
@@GimbalWalkTV Best pizza. I prefer the one at Kelvinbridge on the Great Western Road. Number 8 with sugo!
There one on great western Rd as well sits on the corner on the left hand side going toward Byres Rd and that gets a good reputation tho there's always queues
@@GimbalWalkTV I definitely will! 😁
Used to work train's to QSt&Central. Been a few times to the Scottish Motor Show in the SECC. Watching this tour has brought back many memories.
I really enjoyed looking at those Victorian buildings.
❤️❤️
Such a handsome city centre
It is!
A city with a bEating heart😃🌈👍🏴🏴
Deffo!!
I`m in thes streets almost everday and wouldn`t want to live anywhere else.
Well said - fine city!
Never been to Glasgow . Now I feel I have. Huge bustling towns aren't my usual likings. But seeing the old architecture scattered here and there made it more interesting for me. I suppose if I needed a day to shop, this would be an ideal setting. My favorite part I have to say is the ending parade hearing the cheery sounds of the wooden flutes and drums keeping the beat for the marchers ;)
All are welcome to the wonderful city of Glasgow and the magnificent Country that is Scotland!
Come and see for yourself. You won't be disappointed and you would be made so very welcome 😊😊
I believe the marching band are an anti British band lm surprised they were allowed to March in a British city
They still have Christmas decorations up in George Square at the end of January!
Yeah!
Born and raised in Glasgow and work in Fraser's on Buchanan Street ❤️🏴❤️
Nice! Love Glasgow!
Brilliant so proud to be Scottish. Even more proud to be born and bread in Glasgow. 🏴🏴🏴
Well said
It was my first proper look around Glasgow on my first real proper trip to Scotland and I loved it so much I want to move there!
I think you mean bread and butter! 😀
Looking forward to this one 😊
Hope you like it!
Heartening to see very few people walking around with a phone stuck to their ear!
True
Fine video l liked the tin pan ally band whoever they were
Thank you
I'm in love with Edinburgh, but I'd give a chance to Glasgow
Haha the guy doing the balloons at 11:20. Is a friend of mine. Need to let him know. 🤣
🤣 Tell him hello from me!
I see ye got "despecito" man , he's a bit ae a legend in the southside , when it snowed hunners last time during lockdoon everybody was oot in queens park sledging and he was banging oot despecito its was quite bizarre but nice at the same time , like being in some weird auld victorian watercolour painting of a snowy day in the park. Never seen so many people sledging at once in my life, it was very innocent and peaceful everyone was having fun during a strange time, probably wont see that again in my lifetime
Enjoyed this video but I must admit you spoiled me with Edinburgh first 😃 keep on walking thank you 👍👍
More to come!
Love the walks !! Saves me Tickets and Airplane rides 😀 Have you ever thought about doing Hadrian's Wall ???
Hadrian’s wall is nowhere near Glasgow and it’s very beautiful quite different to poor old run down Glasgow ☺️
I know it well as I grew up in grangemouth and used to walk along it as a kid at various sections that still remain near Falkirk and Polmont woods , if Im ever back oor there Ill grab a few videos as I take my go pro with me everywhaur noo. Still worth a visit , video is gid but doesnae really dae the place justice
I was kinda hoping I’d see thon wee bar under he bridge. If you have, please advice which video it is on.
Lots of trouble around Glasgow Central Station though
Latest figures released Glasgow Central Station most dangerous train station in Scotland.... Its official!!!
That's sad to hear
@@missy3429 inside as well the staff are rude and unpleasant.
@@fredrickaappletree3402 Yeh I think they are stressed dealing with all the dangers....
Your video make everything look bigger that it actually is. A distorted view.
It felt bigger than it is too - I was totally lost
@@GimbalWalkTV Glasgow covers an area of 56 square miles.
Anyone visiting Glasgow should take themselves to Govanhill, its pure posh there
Will have a look!
@@GimbalWalkTV this guy is taking a piss. Govanhill is a poor and uninteresting area of Glasgow but they do have Rangers stadium there.
If you want to see a posh areas in Glasgow South visit Dumbreck, Giffnock, Newlands. There are beautiful Victorian houses.
Visit Pollock park, there is a beautiful castle and nice grounds . It’s beautiful in spring/summer. Lots a flowers. There are highland cows (with long fur) roaming , you can go very close to them
Visit West End. Byers road, Glasgow university. It’s all very vibrant and happening. Good energy there
Posh areas in west end- Hyndland street, Kelvinside, Jordanhill and Bearsden
You must visit Kelvingrove art gallery
Finneston area is nice, lots of interesting modern buildings, all entertainment arenas are there.
There is a lot to see in Glasgow but Govanhill is not among the interesting places for sure
@@meows_and_woof Govanhill is a nice colourful place with lots of diversity and great shops on Allison Street. You can pet the goats, get some bargains off the locals, bit of live entertainment now and then. Get a haircut and you might even get offered some hanky panky. Lovely place.
Where is macgregory fine art and Verona restaurant?
Not sure
First Street your on is the one I run Down to get to my shift 😂
🤣
Hi, Is it possible to drive a left hand drive car in Glasgow?
Yeah!
20:00 so I heard you like bridges dawg! So we built bridge under bridge between bridges so that...
🤣
21 год живу в Глазго. Глазго побратим моему городу Ростову-на-Дону. Я живу у братьев.
Hi! I love glasgow
Loving the video. Out of interest, when was this filmed?
Last summer If I remember correctly
It was filmed on the 22nd January. 😉 It's said in the beginning of the video.
Sorry to see George Square looking so grim.
It was on a really bad weather day and a political March going on so people avoided it that day
There is a great soup kitchen under the bridge at Argyle Street..... Either join the queues or join the hecklers harassing the soup kitcken staff..... The choice is yours......
You sound so anti-Glasgow?
Grace video as I never seen befor.
I just wanted to know what was the reason for the police presence ?
It was the march seen right at the end of the video.
I had no idea what the march was for though!
You tagged Brunswick Street as Candleriggs
Ah no - apologies must have got that wrong
not the orange walk at the end.. lol.
What was it? I’ve still no idea
@@GimbalWalkTV it's a republican (irish) walk. I would rather neither of these walks took place in scotland
Love it! It's quite amusing and amazing how similar the architecture in the buildings resemble the ones in Chicago!!
Glasgow is better though, hands down. 😁
Yes! Well said Susan!
Loads of big Hollywood movies have been filmed in Glasgow because the buildings resemble places like Chicago and Philidelphia. Most recent movies to be filmed in Glasgow are the new Batman movie and the new Indiana Jones movie which isn't released yet.
World War Z was filmed in George square, infact the street the marchers were marching along was were at the start of the movie everyone began turning into Zombies, Brad Pitt driving along that street as it all kicked off.
Oh i met Charlie Sheen in George Square in the early 90's, he was filming some movie on that same street the marchers were on lol. Btw Charlie sheen was and probably still is a dickhead.
When freedom for Scotland
Don't know
Freedom from what?
Try this at night around Central Station area. Place is an absolute dump
😮😮😮😮
Glasgow is a nice city with some amazing architecture. Sorry you had to experience that vile bigotry at the end though 😟😟😾😾
It's not Glasgow unless there is a very animated smack head yelling down their phone moaning about how someone has done them wrong (usually the benefit office).
🤣🤣🤣
That made me laugh 😂
Back in 1967 as in end of jeune André abandonné le type d u copyright cont roquefort me
Not nearly as interesting as your Edinburgh tour!! No explaining of the old buildings!
Sorry! I'll do a better one next time
Unfortunately as a glaswegian I can say the city is a mess go outside the city centre to the housing schemes. Where drugs is rife worst drug deaths than anywhere in Europe....big problems with alcohol but hey the city centre looks nice.
To be fair I hear the same things in every town and city I visit
I do believe you btw - I know Glasgow has it's issues, but I guess I'm here to just show the nicer and more positive side of life
@@GimbalWalkTV I'm not criticising your video mate .I like videos like this .I drive a taxi and parts of the city particularly in the North and East of the city are looking grim but yes your correct there's not a city in the world that has not got poor area.i just think we could be doing better. Irrespective of my wee rant I still enjoy your vids.
What do you think is the answer to that? I am from Leeds and happen to think that Glasgow is Britain's most interesting provincial city.
@@tt-vu3oz Ah thanks - I wasn't criticising your views at all - you're correct in what you're saying for sure. Agree could be doing better as a city too!
@@jamesbovington8218 I’m surprised you say that I think Leeds is far more attractive and interesting and safer! It’s also not so spread out.
Always seems to me there are loads of dull buildings in Glasgow with the shops in between too far apart from each other with to much traffic in the centre.
I can’t see the Junkies I’m sure on every corner there is few of them 🤣🤣🤣
😮😮😮
Lots of lovely single men loiterinng round every corner of evening!!!
What for?
I may well seek asylum in an independent Scotland returned to the European fold. Hope that I would be welcome from Yorkshire.
Remember your Globalist digital ID James.
Are u kidding me 😆
You may find the odd drug addict setting up house on random corners... Glasgow has highest number of deaths from drugs in Europe....
That's a real shame
The Odd Drug Addict? Are you kidding. City Centre is Rammed with Junkies and Drug Dealers. Glasgow is a cesspit No one wants to go into the City Centre now it’s a sinkhole.
Edinburgh was always bad for the drugs . It’s everywhere now.
Shame the nutters want to pull down statues and change street names.
I don't know anything about that
@@GimbalWalkTV Something to do with the slavery that was abolished a couple of hundred years ago.
@@secondchance6603 I see - not interested in any political nonsense ta
@@alexanderhendry5819 You are absolutely correct and hopefully other countries will do the same. Egypt could begin dismantling the pyramids because we're told slaves built them so here's hoping, but I'm not going to hold my breath.
Remember when your shoplifting the police cannot do anything unless its over £150......
😮
@Missy Or maybe just dont shoplift at all.
@@Alexander.......... Sorry Alex, my morals have flown out the window during these desperate times!!!!!
Thats America not glasgow
@@jpj-rx1zu Honestly just be smart get tips off ather shoplifters, theres plenty about... Even better join a gang of them... Bobs your uncle.... The police are too busy solving all the murders.....
gloomy city, much better spain
It's only gloomy because of the weather. Lovely on a sunny day! Plenty of museums and art galleries away from the centre of Glasgow.
@@marjian6991 You are lovely, even if I don't know you!
