Old Photograph Motorbike And Trams Argyle Street Glasgow Scotland

Old photograph of a motorbike and Trams on Argyle Street in Glasgow, Scotland. Originally known as Westergait, Argyle Street led west from Trongate to the city's West Port, the western gate out of the city's walls. It was renamed in honour of the Duke of Argyll, some time after the removal of the West Port in 1751, as a result of the expansion of the city westward. Argyle Street is now a major thoroughfare in the city centre of Glasgow. With Buchanan Street and Sauchiehall Street, Argyle Street is one of the main shopping streets in the city centre. It begins in the south eastern corner of the city centre, at the Trongate, where it is pedestrianized as far as Queen Street.
