Local bus routes don't get much further than this - First Bus Glasgow's 204 service to Balloch, on Loch Lomond. In the distance can be seen Central Station Bridge which crosses Argyle Street. It was named the 'Hielan'mans Umbrella' (Highland Man) due to many country folk assembling there to keep dry during inclement weather - the insinuation being they were to 'tight' (or careful) with money to spend on such a useful accessory!
