The historical boundaries would have it smaller than that. Dennistoun has grown to eat up the areas around it.

North of Alexandra parade and south of the motorway (historically would have been south of the monklands canal), and west of Alexandra Park and east of Castle Street would have been the area of Milnbank. Name survives today in the name of the Milnbank Housing Association.

North of the parade and cumbernauld road (basically the whole park, but also including the few streets facing onto Haghill and those around Sannox Gardens) would have been the area of Kennyhill. (Sannox Gardens used to be called Kennyhill Gardens and there was a Kennyhill train station at the easternmost part of the park facing the Ford dealership).

The Necropolis along to roughly Craigpark, north of Duke St and south of Parade would be the area of Firpark. Name survives today in Firpark Terrace.

Dennistoun proper would have been everything in between all that, basically what we call, today, The Drives. So, south of the Parade, North of Duke Street, east of Craigpark and west of Cumbernauld Road.

The streets around where the Bluevale flats used to be, including Duke Street, would be the area of Camlachie.

Related info... the road crossing of Duke Street and Bellgrove Street is "King's Cross". And, the road crossing of Duke Street and Cumbernauld Rd (where Duke Street Station is) is "Alexandra Cross". The road crossing that you would think was Alexandra Cross but isn't, the crossing of Alexandra Parade and Alexandra Park Street (where Alexandra Parade train station is) doesn't have a 'cross name', but appears on historic maps as tollcross.

But, yeah, your boundaries are near spot on as things are today.

The article also includes Drygate into Dennostoun here, and even by a modern standard it is not. That would be in Ladywell area. A good example actually of how the boundaries end up shifting over time. Eventually, Ladywell probably will disappear and it will all be merged into Dennistoun
