They are a really good and fun way to explore a new town or city, or your local area... Suitable for all ages. We are in our 70's.

A trail of clues awaits in

Glasgow

It's time to put your detective skills to the test! In 1872, 'Glesga' Johnny McClusky set sail from his beloved city of Glasgow to start a new life down under. But little did anyone know, he had a secret stash of stolen gold from his employer on board with him. When the ship docked in Australia, Johnny was missing, along with the ship's tender. Now, a treasure map has been discovered on a remote Pacific island, and it's up to YOU to follow the trail and solve the clues to uncover the location of the missing gold.

The Trail of Glesga Johnny's Gold

Join the Intrepid Explorers Society on this family-friendly self-guided adventure through the heart of Glasgow. Starting at George Square, you'll navigate through the west side of the city centre, escaping the hustle and bustle to reach the peaceful area of Garnethill. Keep an eye out for crucial clues as you make your way through the city.

Can you locate the long-lost treasure?

Good luck, explorers!

Mini Explorer Club

We have three super duper themed Clubs for your child to enjoy as part of their Treasure Trail experience.

Perfect for 4-8 year olds, the concept behind the Clubs is that your child will get a bundle of goodies to excite them about their forthcoming Trail experience, something to keep them entertained whilst travelling to and from the Trail, and something to be given on completion of the Trail as a keepsake.
