Notes

The street ran roughly from east to west, from the Saltmarket in the east to a chapel and cemetery of St Teneu in the west, a little to the north of where St Enoch's Church stood in the nineteenth century. It followed the course of what is now the Trongate and Argyle Street. The NGR given is for a point near the western end of the street, closest to St Enoch's Church. In 1495 a charter of Martin Wan, chancellor of the Cathedral, records the lands of St Thenew's Chaplain ('terras capellani Sancte Tanew') lying on this street (Glas. Reg. no. 473).
