(a) Glasgow in the 1760s

This map, attributed to James Barry and created during a legal case in 1764, is the earliest depiction of the main streets of Glasgow. Although the story of The Entail commences even earlier, the layout of the main roadways was the same and remains similar today. The map shows the “Cross” created by the main streets of the Trongate, High Street, Gallowgate (where Mr Keelevin's office is located) and Saltmarket (where Claud and Maudge live in poverty, here written as Salt Market). Claud sets up shop in the Candleriggs, here written as Candle Riggs. When he rides to woo Girzy in 1746, he is described as going west along the Trongate to Stockwell Street (here Stock Well) and across the bridge towards Cathcart. Turning the corner from the Trongate to Stockwell Street, he would have passed by the house where Clementina Walkinshaw is supposed to have met Prince Charles Edward Stuart, by the 1760s called the Shawfield Mansion.
