A Glasgow walking tour has been named among the spookiest experiences in the UK by Tripadvisor reviewers.

The Gothic Glasgow Walking Tour was ranked seventh nationally, while two other locations in Edinburgh made the top ten.

October is the year's spookiest month and is a time when we prepare to celebrate Halloween, a day dedicated to all things macabre.

Glasgow is no stranger to scary tales, so it's little wonder a Glasgow walking tour made it into the UK's top ten.
