Scottish Stock Exchange
The Scottish Stock Exchange was a stock exchange which started trading on 2 January 1964 following a merger of the four main stock exchanges in Scotland: the Edinburgh Stock Exchange, Glasgow Stock Exchange, Dundee Stock Exchange, and Aberdeen Stock Exchange.[1] The main secretariat of the exchange was in Glasgow, while the Edinburgh, Dundee, and Aberdeen exchanges operated as local branches[2] until 1971, when the local exchanges closed completely.[3]
During the construction of the new Scottish Stock Exchange building in St George's Place, Glasgow, the exchange was housed in a converted warehouse on Ingram Street. The new building was opened after two years' work on 13 April 1971.[4]
In 1973, the Scottish Stock Exchange merged into the London Stock Exchange.[5]
Since then, there have been calls to re-establish an independent stock exchange in Scotland.[5][6]
