Watch: I visited Glasgow Police Museum to learn about the UK’s oldest police force

The museum is hidden in plain sight on a Merchant City street and tells local stories of crime and justice.

In the heart of the Merchant City, on the first floor of a grand red sandstone on Bell Street, directly above a traditional Scottish restaurant is a museum dedicated to the history and tales of UK’s first police force. It’s an unassuming attraction, passively resembling an ordinary flat, though distinguishable by a plain sign across its window. Inside, the small museum holds a broad collection of newspaper cutouts, documents and items that tell a local story of crime and justice that has an interesting place in the history books.
