Trongate
Prints of Trongate available from Alan Reed Gallery in Ponteland. See our huge selection of Scottish Prints.
The Trongate was originally known as St. Thenew’s Gait because it was the way to St. Thenew’s Chapel. It was named after the mother of St. Mungo, and situated where St. Enoch Square is today. It should be noted that the term “gait”, also spelled “gate”, does not refer to a gated entry. But is instead an old Scottish word meaning “the way to”. In 1491, a trone or balance for weighing goods was set up at Glasgow Cross and St. Thenew’s Gait subsequently became known as the Tronegait or the way to the trone. Read more here
