City centre mural trail

St Mungo
Glasgow street art regular Smug created this mural on a gable end on High Street. It depicts a modern-day St Mungo and references the story of The Bird That Never Flew. Fittingly, the nearby Glasgow Cathedral is the final resting place of Glasgow's patron saint.

St Enoch and Child
Around the corner from the modern day St Mungo is St Enoch and Child, also by Smug. This tender and detailed mural shows a modern version of how the city began; St Thenue/Enoch cradling her beloved St Kentigern/Mungo. Find it at the corner of High Street and George Street.

Honey, I Shrunk the Kids
On Mitchell Street, you'll find this colossal image depicting a girl with a magnifying glass. Catch it at the right angle and it looks as if she's plucking people off the street! Created by artist Smug, it's within walking distance of Glasgow Central Station.

The Musician
Rogue One and Art Pistol strike again with this fantastic mural of a musician. You can find it tucked away in Sauchiehall Lane.

Bubbles
Found in Renfield Lane, this fun mural was a joint commission by Rogue One and Art Pistol, featuring a French Bulldog and two young girls playing with bubbles.
Billy Connolly, Big Yin and Dr Connolly, I Presume?
These 3 murals were created to mark the 75th birthday of famous Glaswegian comedian Billy Connolly. The original designs are by well-known Scottish artists, Rachel MacLean, John Byrne and Jack Vettriano who portrayed the 'Big Yin' in their own styles. The original artworks were then brought to life by street artists, Rogue One and the Art Pistol collective.


The Lost Giant
The Lost Giant is part of a series by Stormie Mills. The Australian artist has created murals like this across towns and cities all over the world. The Glasgow version wears a scarf made from Glaswegian tartan. It can be found near the entrance to Sauchiehall Lane.
Keeper of Light
Smug One’s towering mural celebrates Glasgow’s culture and change. This hyper-realistic piece spans a whopping 11 storeys. It was created with Yardworks and the Merchant City Community Council. The mural features a woman with ornate jewellery, a candlestick, and a martini glass.

Butterflies in Her Eyes
Complimenting his previous work, this mural by Rogue One is a vibrant addition to Merchant City. Punchy and playful, it can be found between Brunswick Lane and Candleriggs.

Are Ye Dancin'
Depicting a famous Scottish phrase, Are Ye Dancin' is found tucked down a lane, just off Argyle Street, on the way to Sloan's Bar and Restaurant.
Today We’re in Love Aren't We?
This striking, 20-metre-high mural was installed in 2019 to celebrate the 30th anniversary of Glasgow’s Doors Open Days festival. You can find it on Brown Street, not far from the River Clyde. It was painted by an all-female group of artists called the Cobolt Collective.
The World's Most Economical Taxi
You'll find this floating taxi on Mitchell Street, next to Glasgow's Buchanan Street. This was also created by artist Rogue One.

As Good as Gold
This mural, which is a cheeky comment on inflation, can be found near Buchanan Street, down the lane beside Princes Square.
Spaceman
This cosmic installation by Recoat and Ali Wyllie brings a touch of colour to New Wynd. Wyllie's work is inspired by comic book and graphic design culture. It highlights his use of slick, clean lines, colour choice, and geometric backgrounds.

Fellow Glasgow Residents
Marvel at the gable end wall on Ingram Street and you'll find all manner of Scottish wildlife coming from the spray can of Smug. You'll need a few photos to capture all of this huge mural.

Garnethill Garden Mural
Artist Ida Henrich's mural brightens up the lane between Glasgow School of Art and St Aloysius College. Children from Garnethill were involved in the colourful design.
The Swimmer
Another by artist Smug. This mural was one of the first commissioned to celebrate the Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games. You'll find this huge mural down at the Kingston Bridge.

Generation Green
Smug's collaboration with Scottish Power was created as a legacy of COP26. The artwork of a child planting wind turbines calls for a greener energy future.
Bow Down, Honour the Roots
This stunning mural on Brunswick Street features the faces of the Indigenous community who attended the COP26 conference. Led by Fearless Collective, the work is a monument to their sovereignty and their stories. The text surrounding the mural is a poem created by workshop participants involved in its creation.

Afro Scot
South of the River Clyde in Tradeston, you can find this mural of a group of women cooking. Highlighting the growing African community in Glasgow, the mural shows that everyone is welcome in the city.
University of Strathclyde Wonderwall

Wind Power is another imaginative image from Rogue One and Art Pistol. It is on Mitchell Street and was originally created as a live installation as part of Doors Open Days 2014. The mural celebrates the diversity of sustainable energy production throughout Scotland.

Our World
Inspired by COP26, Our World represents the vision and hope of future generations for the world. It is located beside the River Clyde.

Thomas Muir
Rogue One and Art Pistol joined forces to create this modern reimagining of Thomas Muir. An 18th Century Scottish political reformer and lawyer, Muir injured his face during cannon fire involving the British naval fleet.
