The toll house, gate and weigh station at Sandyford seem to have been demolished just prior to this in the late 1850s, to be replaced in the 1860s by the tenement buildings you can see in the foreground of the top image.

Turnpikes were first established in Scotland in the 18th century, and they allowed land owners to apply for an act of parliament to allow them to erect gates where tolls could be collected to pay for road maintainence and improvements. They continued until they were abolished by the Roads and Bridges (Scotland) Act of 1878.

Argyle Street in the west of Glasgow at its junction with Kelvinhaugh Street. It's currently lined with tenements constructed in the 1850s and 1860s. However, prior to this, as these maps from 1857 show, it was the site of the Sandyford Toll Plaza, consisting of toll house, gate and weigh station. It was here that taxes would have been paid before entering the city and/or payments made for use of the turnpike heading west.
