From Glasgow
Sauchiehall Street runs one way from Charing Cross to the city centre where it becomes pedestrianized at the junction of Blythswood Street and continues to Buchanan Street. The traffic on the street runs parallel between Renfrew Street and Bath Street. Sauchiehall Lane runs parallel to the south of the pedestrianized section of the street. Sauchiehall Street is approximately one mile long and was widened for traffic in 1846. Sauchiehall Street continues past Charing Cross, over the M8 Motorway, widening further until it merges with Argyle Street.
History of Sauchiehall Street
The name is derived from "saugh", the Scots for a willow tree and "haugh" the word for a meadow, which was later corrupted into "hall".
Reportedly Sauchiehall Street was originally a narrow, winding lane with villas standing in large (sometimes an acre in size) gardens.
The eastern end of this street, from Buchanan Street to West Nile Street was previously called Cathcart Street.
