High Street, Glasgow
High Street is the oldest, and one of the most historically significant, streets in Glasgow, Scotland. Originally the city's main street in medieval times, it formed a direct north–south artery between the Cathedral of St. Mungo (later Glasgow Cathedral) in the north, to Glasgow Cross and the banks of the River Clyde. The High Street now stops at Glasgow Cross, with the southern continuation being the Saltmarket. High Street forms the notional boundary between the city centre to the west, and Dennistoun and Calton to the east.
Victorian tenements located at the northern end of the street. A mural depicting a "modern-day St. Mungo" can be seen. | |
