| Comment | Yep. I just had a read at all that. Fascinating stuff indeed. Montgomerie and Fleming are essentially the names to be credited with the initial development of the city's west end.
After reading about John Walker building a wall around his land like a Victorian Era Trump, and reading about how he built his own bridge over the Kelvin (now dismantled), I'm wondering if he might be the responsible party for renaming the streets. As interesting and influential figure as Walker was, he's striking me as a petty, vindictive arse hole of a man, which leads me to wondering if he scrubbed Montgomerie from the streets names just because. |
