      "The Origin And History Of Glasgow Streets" By Hugh Macintosh (1902) DRYGATE STREET is undoubtedly the oldest thoroughfare in the city. In Jamieson's history of the Culdees it is stated that the Pagans brought the word dry from Germany, as being the name by which every German priest was called. In ancient times, anterior to our ecclesiastical history, a Druidical place of worship stood on the site of the present Necropolis, the only-approach to which must have been the Drygate, hence it was designated the priests' road. A mint-house was erected here during the reign of Robert the Third. ( http://www.glasgowguide.co.uk/info-gstreets3.html )
