Glasgow City Centre Walk【4K】| Let's Walk 2021

Join me for an epic hour-long walk around the historic heart of the largest city in Scotland: Glasgow! Taking in the sights from the ornate Merchant City to the banks of the River Clyde, the old medieval core at Glasgow Cross, along the magnificent Buchanan Street and so much more, we barely scratch the surface of this magnificent metropolis over the course of 63 minutes!
On our walk around Glasgow, we pass countless amazing landmarks full of history, including George Square, Glasgow City Chambers, Glasgow Cenotaph, the Scott Monument, Gallery of Modern Art, The Duke of Wellington statue (with a cone on his head!), Buchanan Street, Princes Square shopping arcade, Argyle Street, Glasgow Central Station, St. Enoch Square, St. Enoch Subway Station, a mural of Billy Connolly, the River Clyde, South Portland Street Suspension Bridge, Metropolitan Cathedral of St. Andrew, Victoria Bridge, The Briggait, St. Enoch Centre, Saltmarket, The High Court of Justiciary in Glasgow, Glasgow Green, the McLennan Arch, St. Andrew's in the Square, Glasgow Cross, the Tolbooth Steeple, Glasgow Mercat Cross, Trongate, Tron Kirk Steeple, the Fruitmarket buildings, Hutchesons' Hall, Ingram Street, General Post Office Buildings, Glasgow Queen Street Station, St. George's Tron Church, the former Scottish Stock Exchange buildings, Buchanan Street Subway Station, Buchanan Galleries, The Glasgow Royal Concert Hall, Sauchiehall Street, the former Empire Theatre, St Andrew House, Cineworld Glasgow, Castle Chambers, and George Square once again.

Argyle street

[@JohnnyZenith]

The population of Glasgow i 1.6 million. You are way off?!

[@rusdiha222]

Oh lovely. I was studying master at Strathclyde U. 1991-1992 and doctorate 94-97. I miss very much to Glasgow, but now very difficult go there I am already 72 yrs😢

[@northernskys]

Love Glasgow, it has so much to offer, and so beautiful. Remember walking into a suburban Fish and Chippery, many, many, many, years ago, and being served by the most Scottish Chinese guy, with the broadest Glaswegian accent, and spending ages just chatting with him about how, when, and where, his family ended up in Glasgow all the way from Hong Kong. Thanks for another brilliant Walk. Keep them coming!

[@LetsWalkUK]

That sounds like a classic Glasgow memory! It's an amazing city and Glaswegians like the guy in the chippy with their fascinating history and genuine warmth make it a wonderful place to visit :) Thanks for sharing that story there - and thank you very much for watching, I'm so glad you enjoyed the video!

[@JohnnyZenith]

Love Glasgow too. Another great city of the UK.

[@ferdaoussbella1410]

I really like how talkative and loud are the people of glasgow it shows how they are comfortable and also how confident they are

[@lexiwilliams9422]

You will always find someone to talk to in Glasgow 😁

[@caroldave4037]

As a regular visitor to glasgow from Cumbria the guy who had the hand puppet sums up Glasgow....its residents good on you folks.....

[@LetsWalkUK]

Ha ha very much so! I got a lot of friendly greetings walking around the city with a camera on this evening - the Glaswegians are a very good-natured and fun-loving people, always great to see that energy :) Thank you so much for watching - I really hope you enjoyed the video!

[@johng810]

You do every city justice with the history! Don't miss things most would. Enjoyed this

[@LetsWalkUK]

Thank you so much! I'm so glad you're enjoying the videos - there's so much history in cities like Glasgow that I certainly can't pack everything into the one walk, but I'm really happy you enjoyed the heritage we looked at here, it's a great city :)

[@NiceWalk4K]

Awesome side trips and sceneries. Thank you for sharing

[@LetsWalkUK]

Thank you so much! I'm so glad you enjoyed the video - Glasgow is full of awesome history and spectacular landmarks too :)

You have caught the light perfectly thanks for a great video ,I really enjoyed the walk round my home City without leaving the chair it's amazing how much you know, you take for granted or just forget about the City around you. Thanks.

[@LetsWalkUK]

Thank you so much! I'm so glad you enjoyed the video - Glasgow is a magnificent city, and as you mention it's quite amazing just how much of a place you're so familiar with can appear so unique when you see it from a different perspective, including your armchair :)

[@ThisGuyWalks]

What a great tour! I really enjoyed your comment while I watching it! Thanks for amazing sharing :)

[@LetsWalkUK]

You're welcome! I'm so glad you enjoyed the video - and thank you very much for watching, Glasgow is a spectacular city with so much to see and learn about :)

[@suzannewilliamson3304]

I was pleasantly surprised watching this video. I had no idea Glasgow had so much to offer. Thank you for sharing the city's rich history, so many interesting facts. There is certainly a good variety of historical buildings to see too. Thank you.

[@LetsWalkUK]

It really is a spectacular city! Edinburgh gets a lot of the plaudits from tourists but Glasgow is also filled to the brim with heritage and brilliant cityscapes, not to mention the depth of history at every corner around the city :) Thank you so much for watching - I'm really glad you enjoyed the video!

[@theresabradley4716]

If you get a chance to visit, you will not be disappointed! The magnificent People's Palace, in Glasgow Green, is fantastic, as is the incredible KelvingroveMuseum. My favourite place in Glasgow to eat is The '78 - fantastic food, music, people! This city has everything!

[@suzannewilliamson3304]

@@theresabradley4716 Thank you that sounds really good. I would love to visit Glasgow and many parts of Scotland. I think it may be some time before I go especially as I'm a few hundred miles away.

[@michellebruce5092]

Nice walk of Glasgow city in Scotland. I enjoyed it very much. I've been to Glasgow city in Scotland in 1996. It brings back great memories. The city looks beautiful and historical. The history lessons were great. Your walks are always wonderful. 😀 can't wait to see more soon. Have a great day. How was your weekend? Mine was great.

[@LetsWalkUK]

Thank you so much! I'm so glad you enjoyed the walk in Glasgow, I'm sure you had a great time there back in '96 - it really is a spectacular place to visit, and full of history :) I had a lovely weekend thank you - stay tuned this week for more walks!

[@birzulapatru4443]

Thanks again, Glasgow, is another beautiful place to see, on my list on April. You gain a new subscriber!💯💥👍

[@japancountryside1313]

Another nice walk,my friend

[@LetsWalkUK]

Thank you so much! I'm so glad you enjoyed the video - Glasgow is a thoroughly impressive city :)

[@margaretclark250]

Well worth a second d walk roundabout Glasgow University area and art galleries, transport museum, enjoyed this walk being a resident of Glasgow it was good to see how nice it looked.

[@LetsWalkUK]

Absolutely! I think we could have whole series of videos exploring the different districts of Glasgow - and that's not even before heading out into the suburbs and surrounding towns! The university area is lovely, and on my return to Glasgow in future I'll make a video there :) Thank you so much for watching - I'm so glad you enjoyed the video!

[@GreatCityAttractions]

Great walking video - one of the best we've seen. Glasgow looks wonderful.

[@juanitahardy8583]

Great tour and thankyou for all the history. I really enjoyed this tour having once lived there. . One of my favorite cities.

[@Myopinions24]

My heart just keeps melting with these walks.. I miss Glasgow so effin much and your videos make me remember all the memories I had built there in the last 2 years... ❤️❤️

[@beith28]

fantastic video, I really enjoyed it. I am amazed by the amount of research you do and look forward to any further videos from Glasgow.

[@LetsWalkUK]

Thank you so much! There was indeed a lot of research that went into this very long video, but Glasgow has such a staggering heritage that I was only able to just scratch the surface here :) Do stay tuned for more walks in the future!

[@dlittlester]

It looks a lot cleaner than when I was there in '91. We had engine trouble in the train coming down from the north, and I had to switch stations. I took a cab. It was getting dark, and I had to find a hotel. It was the first and last time in my life I was asked how many hours I wanted the room for. It was awful. When morning came, I was gone!

[@LetsWalkUK]

Oh no! That's such a shame to hear - certainly Glasgow is a much-changed city over the last 30 years, hopefully you get the chance to visit again in the future to see how the city is today :) Thank you so much for watching - I do hope you enjoyed the video!

[@buyisileishabalala7939]

Thoroughly enjoyed that ! Absolute infortaining especially to us intent tourists ! Well & enticing presentation !

[@beckygair2272]

Excellent once again

[@LetsWalkUK]

Thank you so much! I'm really glad you enjoyed the video - Glasgow certainly is an excellent city :)

[@brucethomas4196]

This is the second video I have watched of yours ,did Edinburgh yesterday and Glasgow today, thank you thank you thank you, I love the format the description the history I also like the natural sound of the environment as you walk around five thumbs up much gratitude!

[@boneyjensen]

Wow. I had no idea Glasgow was such a beautiful city. I'd also like to go to Edinburgh but fear the amount of tourists will ruin the experience. I like these longere videos btw. Where are you planning going next? Thanks for the walk! Cheers from Copenhagen.

[@LetsWalkUK]

Thank you so much! I'm so glad you enjoyed the video - all 63 minutes of it too :) Glasgow is a fantastic city and its architecture really is second to none. As you mention Edinburgh can be a little more crowded with tourists but outside the summer it's certainly not too bad, central Glasgow is more of a city in action as you might have seen in this video! Thank you again for your very kind words about the video - there are lots more walks to come over the next few weeks, including in St Andrews, Loch Ness, the Lake District, Leeds, the Yorkshire Dales, Lancashire, the South Coast and many more :) Do stay tuned for it!

I think your videos are superb. They take me so long to watch as I keep pausing to take everything in. May I ask, at 21.21 is that the bar that suffered the horrific helicopter crash some years ago?

[@LetsWalkUK]

Thank you so much! I'm so glad you're enjoying the videos and taking time to soak in the atmosphere of cities like Glasgow - it's a great way to explore the world :) Indeed, as you mention, the pub in The Briggait was the one hit by the helicopter back in 2013 - a devastating incident.
