Spanning from the top of Buchanan Street all the way along to the West End to Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum, Sauchiehall street is one of the main shopping streets in the city centre.

A number of changes have taken place to the street over the years with a number of prominent shops having closed down in recent times.

Take a trip down memory lane and have a look back at one of the most famous streets in Glasgow.
