Ok HG geniuses any info on all the resplendent old Shopping Arcades of the past?
Argyle Arcade - the only remaining one and "Europe’s oldest covered shopping arcade and Scotland's first ever indoor shopping mall"

Queen Arcade Renfrew Street (no plaque remains telling Glasgow that Bridie got her hair ribbons here from a man who stood at the entrance with a tray like the ice cream seller at the cinema)
exterior entrance next to the Camp Bar

Anything on the Wellington Arcade which was an extension of the Queen Arcade ?
