Meeting point

We meet outside Hillhead Subway to start your tour. Your guide will be holding a purple umbrella when you meet them.

Hillhead is the heart of the west end. If you fancy, check out Botanic Gardens or Cresswell and Ruthven Lanes before the tour. They're quirky and you might find a wee bargain!
