Argyle Street

Argyle Street is one of the main thoroughfares of Glasgow, Scotland. It was originally called Westergait, but was soon renamed after the Duke of Argyle. The street begins in the southeastern part of the city and stretches for almost 2.5 kilometers.

It is a very lively place where there are numerous boutiques, restaurants, cafes, cinemas and entertainment centers. During the day on Argyle Street you can admire monumental buildings, for example, the Kelvingrove Art Gallery. With the onset of darkness on the street gather those who like to plunge headlong into the world of fun and entertainment.

The development of Argyle Street was started at the turn of the 1970s. Then most of the street was laid out with tiles and began to build houses, many of which are real works of art. Their architecture is designed in the style of classical baroque, which gives them a special charm. It should also be noted that near Argyle Street is Kelvingrove Park and Glasgow School of Art.
