Virginia Street was built in 1753 Jamaica Street was built in 1763. Queen Street followed in 1777 and St Enochs Square in 1783. Buchanan Street was built in 1786 and St Georges Square in 1787.

Spreading west from Charing Cross it includes Woodlands, Hillhead, Hyndland and Byres Road. It ... includes the lovely Kelvingrove and the hustling bustling area of Partick running from Argyle Street along Dumbarton Road. This section gives a flavour of different parts of the West End:

In the early Middle Ages there was one general market in Glasgow but as the town grew separate markets were held. By the late 15th century there was a salt market (which lives on as a place name). There was ... a wool and linen market about the market cross. A fruit and vegetable market was held in Gallowgate. There was also a meat market just north of Trongate, a fish market at Westport, and a horse market and a grain market by the High Street.
