Glasgow sprang up from just eight mediaeval streets to a sprawling city packed with culture, food, innovation, absorbing varied neighbourhoods and communities
No two streets in the city are the same and each bring their own character to Glasgow, be it Buchanan Street’s shopping, top class restaurants on Great Western Road or the cultural impact of streets like Byres Road.
Take a look at our list of the city’s most famous streets, known far beyond the confines of Glasgow.
9. High Street
One of the original Glasgow streets and definitely one of the most important. High Street was the home to the University of Glasgow's original buildings for more than 400 years and was one of the main religious sites in the city from as early as the 1200s. | Contributed
10. Rottenrow
Another of Glasgow's oldest streets, Rottenrow welcomed thousands of Glaswegian's into the world at the site of the maternity hospital which sat on the street for more than 150 years. The hospital's legacy is commemorated with a giant nappy pin erected in the gardens where the hospital once stood. | Glasgowist
11. St Vincent Street
Formed in the 1800s as part of the new town of Blythswood, St Vincent Street's architecture is considered to have been innovative for more than 200 years, with examples from architects such as Alexander "Greek" Thomson and Sir John James Burnet. In recent years, the street has even stood in for New York in film. | Google Maps
12. Trongate
The Trongate runs from Glasgow Cross towards Argyle Street and is another of the city's oldest streets. It now forms the southern boundary of the Merchant City. | Google Maps
