Glasgow, Scotland, Archway entrance to Glasgow Green


The McLennan Arch originally featured in the facade of Robert and James Adams' Assembly Rooms on Ingram Street in the 18th century. After the building was demolished to make room for a post office, the arch was reconstructed as a standalone archway in Monteith Row, Calton in 1892. It was later moved to Greendyke Street, then at the North entrance of Glasgow Green in 1922, before being erected at the Saltmarket entrance in 1991 – its final monument is inscribed with the date MDCCCXCIII (1893) and the words "This Arch was presented to his fellow citizens by Bailie James McLennan "
