If you’ve had a quick look at our Snapchat story of our long weekend in Glasgow, you might have spotted a bit of street art here and there in the video. Well, to be honest we left a lot of them out on purpose, because we wanted to show you some of the best Glasgow artists and their best murals in a separate blog post here for you.
Anyone that has ever been to Glasgow knows that this is one of the best cities in the UK to spot street art. At the tourist office, we spotted a small booklet called “City Centre Mural Trail Glasgow” and we couldn’t be happier: it was a map of the city with 19 of the best murals in the city. And I was determined to see as many of them as I could. (pssst. you can download the booklet at the bottom of this blog)
While we didn’t manage to tick them all of the list, I think we did quite well. We even found some on our own that we’ve added to this list. Have a look:

Ah, Glasgow, my favourite city! I’ll be checking this out when I get home to Scotland. Love the Rogueone & Art Pistol & Ejek, I have a similar tattoo.
Oh wow, that must be great as a tattoo! We had such a good time in Glasgow, hope to go back soon!
WOW! As a street art lover, I love hunting street arts on my travels. The ones in Glasgow are quite something aren’t they? They are stunning and you’ve captured them so well! I love the hand puppets one and Big Birds (and of course the others too!)
Thanks Aggy, the art is amazing there, and we still missed a couple of them, so have to get back one day! Yes, the hand puppets and birds were also our favourites :D
Wow…….just awesome. These are so much creative. Thanks a lot for sharing.
They are, right? Hope to go back one day!
I need to revisit Glasgow! love the shadow puppets especially!
