The New Statistical Account (NSA) states that a mint-house was erected in the Drygate (NS 602 652) in 1392.
Renwick and Lindsay (1921) note coins of Alexander II (1214-49) and III (1249-86), also Robert III (1390-1406) minted in Glasgow, and add that the mint could only have been of a temporary nature, the moneyers travelling from place to place with the king.
