Old photograph of Sauchiehall Street, Glasgow, Scotland. Sauchiehall Street began as a country lane leading from the city center to the outskirts, where wealthy merchants built homes, particularly on Blythswood Hill and Garnethill. The street was widened and developed in the 1840s, attracting more villas, tenements, shops, and ultimately, businesses. The street's name, meaning " willow meadow, " reflects its origins as a rural lane.
