Ingram Street was named after Archibald Ingram (1699-1770),

a tobacco lord who became Glasgow's Lord Provost in 1762.

Archibald Ingram was an exception amongst the city merchants

rising to prominence from obscure origins in Ayrshire.

He started out as a street vendor

then married Janet Simpson, an armourer's daughter,

to become a Glasgow burgess through her right.
