| Comment | Oatlands, Strathbungo and North Kelvinside are ancient. The "inventions" are actually the opposite of what you say here. To say Oatlands is the Gorbals or Kelvinside is Maryhill is modern fudgery.
And Eglinton Toll isn't even an area, it is nothing more than a road intersection. Saint Andrew's Cross, which is where Pollokshaws Road meets Victoria Road and Eglinton Street in a saltire shape. At some point in the 1940's they put the barrier in place which 'broke' the crossroads. At that point the junction started getting called Eglinton Toll instead of St Andrew's Cross (but both names live on). The area name is actually Port Eglinton. |
