🌍💖World Kindness day!

Kindness isn’t just something we do — it’s something we feel. In a world that can sometimes move too fast, taking a moment to show kindness can completely change someone’s day. Whether it’s offering a helping hand, a kind word, or just being present, these small acts add up in ways we might not always see but always feel.

At City Sightseeing Glasgow, we’re reminded daily of how powerful kindness is — not just in the places we visit, but in the people we meet. A smile can turn a day around, and one moment of kindness can start a chain reaction. 💖

It’s simple: kindness makes the world go round. Let’s spread it. ✨

🎃👻 Happy Halloween, Glasgow! 👻🎃

As we gear up for a night of spooks and sweets, let's take a moment to appreciate the rich history of Halloween right here in our city!

Did you know that Halloween has its roots in ancient Celtic festivals? The festival of Samhain, celebrated by the Celts in Scotland, marked the end of the harvest season and the beginning of winter. On the night of October 31st, it was believed that the boundary between the living and the dead was blurred, allowing spirits to roam the earth. People lit bonfires and wore costumes to ward off these wandering ghosts.

In Glasgow, this tradition evolved over the years. By the late 19th century, Halloween began to take on a more festive flair with parties and community gatherings. Today, we celebrate with an array of fun events, from spooky parades to haunted tours of our historic streets.

Share your Halloween photos and let’s keep the spooky spirit alive! 🎃

GET TO KNOW OUR STOPS:

Stop no. 2: Glasgow Cathedral
Join us for an unforgettable journey through the heart of Glasgow! Our next stop is the stunning Glasgow Cathedral, a true architectural gem that dates back to the 12th century.

Glasgow Cathedral, also known as St. Mungo's Cathedral, is built on the site where St. Mungo, the patron saint of Glasgow, is said to have been buried. This site has been a place of worship since the 6th century! The cathedral showcases beautiful Gothic architecture, featuring intricate stone carvings and majestic stained glass windows that tell stories of faith and history.

Throughout the centuries, the cathedral has played a significant role in the religious and civic life of Glasgow, serving as the center for the Church of Scotland until the Reformation. After periods of decline, the cathedral underwent significant restoration in the 19th century, preserving its beauty for future generations. Whether you're a history buff or just looking for some stunning photo ops, Glasgow Cathedral is a must-visit! Don’t forget to hop off the bus, soak in the atmosphere, and take a moment to appreciate this iconic landmark.
