Mad Mag

Meet Mag Gow – fish seller, troublemaker, and absolute menace. She wasn’t just a bit of a character—she was the undisputed queen of drunken disasters – holding the record for the most convictions of any single person in the city’s history.

Picture the scene: Greenmarket, 1800s. The air is thick with the smell of fish, sweat, and bad decisions. The market is bustling—hawkers shouting, carts rattling, bairns running wild. And in the middle of it all? Mag Gow, already half-cut and ready for a rammy.

Follow in Mag’s chaotic footsteps from Greenmarket to Couttie’s Wynd, where her greatest misadventures unfolded. Join us for this brand-new, no-holds-barred walk.

Tour guides, Louise and Stewart—Dundee’s gruesome twosome—bring Mag’s unbelievable but 100% true story to life in all its chaotic glory.

Ending at Couttie’s Wynd, this brand-new tour runs from April to May—and trust us, you’ve never heard a history lesson like this before.
