Ingram Street was named after Archibald Ingram ( 1699-1770 ),
a tobacco lord who became Lord Provost of Glasgow 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 burgess of Glasgow through her own right.
