Explore Glasgow through the places behind its cultural stories. Start with Trainspotting, Oasis, AC/DC, then follow the connections between the works, people and locations in this collection. Use the map to see how the documented locations fit together, and browse the place cards for the story behind each stop. A production location and the place it represents on screen can be different; each connection keeps those details separate. For something happening now, follow the official events programme and confirm dates and access with the organiser before travelling. Build your own route by choosing the stories that interest you most. Return to explore new stories as the collection grows.

Current: throw the knife switch and the band’s places swing north and south of the equator like an alternating current, or flatten into one truck ride down Swanston Street; fill Federation Square with 374 pipers, try to bolt the slash onto the lane sign, and halve the tape speed until a one-ton Loughborough bell sounds like eight.
