Glasgow's historic ties with the transatlantic slave trade and slavery have come under the microscope more than ever recently amid worldwide Black Lives Matter protests.
That has led to a petition receiving support calling for the city to address the dark reality that its citizens greatly benefited from the exploitation of enslaved labour.
To do so, the petition, signed by nearly 15,000 people, advocates for a change in the street names which celebrate the Tobacco Lords, in favour of 'other Scottish activists who are deserving of such esteem'.
With that in mind, here's our list of streets and areas in the city linked directly to slavery by virtue of being named after a Tobacco Lord, slave plantation or area which Glasgow was involved with as part of the transatlantic slave trade:
