Old Photograph Saltmarket Glasgow Scotland

Old photograph of the Saltmarket in Glasgow, Scotland. The Saltmarket is a thoroughfare in the City of Glasgow, Scotland. It is a southward continuation of the High Street, running south from Glasgow Cross to the junction with Clyde Street and Crown Street by the River Clyde. It runs past the High Court of Glasgow and also Glasgow Green. Along with the High Street and Crown Street it forms part of the A8. Originally named Waulcergait, the area was associated with wool production, in particular the fulling, in Scots waulking of the cloth. In the 18th century it became a fashionable residential district, close to the Merchant City.
