Sauchiehall Street

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Sauchiehall Street is one of the main shopping/business streets in the city centre of Glasgow, Scotland. Along with Buchanan Street and Argyle Street, it forms the 'Golden Z' in Glasgow city centre, containing the majority of Glasgow's high street and chain stores.

Although commonly associated with the city centre, Sauchiehall street is over 1.5 miles (2.5 km) long, finally meeting Argyle Street in the West End, in front of the Kelvingrove Museum. The two streets run parallel through the city centre, before starting to conjoin westward of the M8 motorway at Charing Cross.

On the city end of Sauchiehall Street is the Buchanan Galleries, one of the largest city centre redevelopments in the UK.
