1. The bones of St Valentine
In a rather unassuming church in the Gorbals, the final resting place of St Valentine’s Bones can be found. A lot of Glaswegians don’t even know about this, so you can’t fault tourists for not knowing. It’s certainly worth a visit in the city, particularly if you’re going on an impromptu date while travelling - what’s hotter than taking your Tinder date out to see the bones of the patron saint of lovers? Not much we reckon. The story behind how the bones got to the Gorbals church is just as interesting, after they sat there in anonymity for a century. To find out the full story, make sure to visit the Blessed St John Duns Scotus church | Supplied
2. Govan Stones
The Govan Stones are one of our favourite Glasgow hidden gem attractions. You can find them at the Govan Old Parish Church. The stones are around 1500-years-old. | Govan Stones
3. The Saracen Head
The Saracen Head is one of Glasgow's oldest pubs. But its inclusion on this list is its claim that it has the skull of "Maggie the last witch to be burnt at the stake". | Contributed
4. Wallace's Well
William Wallace is said to have drunk from the well in Robroyston whenever he visited Glasgow and also just before his capture by English troops commanded by Sir John Mentieth. | Contributed
