Looking towards Scotland St:
Some landscaping has taken place here recently so the scene has changed slightly since these pictures were taken.
Incidentally, is there a difference between cobbles and setts? Cobbles I have always assumed are rounded so that most of what we have actually seen so far are [granite] setts. In any case I think 'setts' is the word most commonly used in Scotland. Can anybody elaborate on this?
Very many Glasgow streets of course have their original setts still in situ beneath the tarmac, as can often be seen when the tarmac deteriorates [particularly near the kerb] or when surface repairs are being attended to.
