Aldi in the High Street
It astonishes me that the old University of Glasgow was flattened in the 1870s to make way for a railway goods yard. Now shops and flats occupy part of the site. I suppose the College's one-time Professor of Moral Philosophy, Adam Smith, would just put it down to market forces.
"On the left-hand of the same street is the university, the building is the best of any in Scotland of the kind; it was founded by Bishop Turnbull, Ann. 1454, but has been much enlarged since, and the fabric almost all new built. It is a very spacious building, contains two large squares, or courts, and the lodgings for the scholars, and for the professors, are very handsome; the whole building is of freestone, very high and very august."
-- Daniel Defoe, A Tour Thro' The Whole Island of Great Britain, 1724-6
