Mitchell and Son had been created in Linlithgow in 1723, but transferred to Glasgow in 1820. The founder's grandson, also Stephen Mitchell, ran the business here and when he died in 1874, he left a bequest to establish and maintain a public library in Glasgow. Known as the Mitchell Library, it was established in 1877 and grew to become one of the largest public reference libraries in Europe (which it still is to this day).

The former Stephen Mitchell and Son Tobacco Factory on Alexandra Parade in Glasgow. It was built in the post-war years, along with the neighbouring Wills Tobacco Factory, with a John Player factory in between the two (all of which were, by then, part of Imperial Tobacco), earning this street the nickname Tobacco Road.
