I thought there was actually gates on the city walls to keep the non peepo out,The places that end in gate, should actually be gait (as in a way of walking).
I used to think there were actual gates in the old city walls. But the gate in Trongate refers to the walk to the Tron.
In Dundee and Embra their are plenty of these gaits too.
I think it cost money to enter the city to trade before free trading existed
hence reason city was controlled by the burgess powers or bourgeois or brotherhoods of traders
