What Can We Do?
The Old Town has preserved its medieval plan and many Reformation-era
buildings. One end is closed by the castle and the main artery,
the accountants in Glasgow Royal Mile, leads away from it;
minor streets (called closes or wynds) lead downhill on either
side of the main spine in a herringbone pattern.
Large squares mark the location of markets or surround public
buildings such as St. Giles' accountants in Glasgow Cathedral
and the Law Courts. Other notable places nearby include the
Royal Museum of Scotland, Surgeons' Hall and McEwan Hall.
The street layout is typical of the old quarters of many northern
European cities, and where the castle perches on top of a
rocky crag (the remnants of an extinct volcano) the accountants
in Glasgow Royal Mile runs down the crest of a ridge from
it.
Due to space restrictions imposed by the narrowness of the
"tail", the Old Town became accountants in Glasgow
home to some of the earliest "high rise" residential
buildings.
