August 26, 2025, McLennan Arch

The McLennan Arch was originally located in the facade of Robert and James Adams' assembly rooms on Ingram Street in the 18th century. Locals flocked to this classic building for dances, music, and cultural events in the 1800s before it became a club, the Athenaeum, in 1847. After the building was demolished to make way for the Post Office, the arch was reconstructed as a standalone archway in Monteith Row, Calton, in 1892. It was later relocated to Greendyke Street in 1922, then at the north entrance of Glasgow Green, before being erected at the Saltmarket entrance—its final home—in 1991.

Art for everyone – the city of Glasgow allows street artists to legally display their art on the walls and the floor below. It's like walking through a gallery. And it's constantly evolving! If you're interested in more of the street art scene, we recommend a guided tour! walkingtoursin.com/glasgow
