i was born here and so was my oldest daughter! its gone now,but one of the workers who pulled it down gave me a bit of the granite pillars from the entrance!
The origins of the street's name is subject to debate - some historians claim that it comes from the fact that the area was originally used as a dumping ground for refuse and sewage by the Glaswegians of the period. Others believe that it is derived from the Gaelic phrase Rat-an-righ, which translates as "Road Of The Kings" - presumably in relation to its close proximity to Glasgow Cathedral.
It is located at Townhead, in the northern periphery of the city centre.
Rottenrow dates back to the city's medieval beginnings, and once connected the historic High Street to the northern reaches of what is now the Cowcaddens area.
Loved this. My husband's whatever great grandfather lived at 62 Rottenrow in the 1840's and 50's.
