| Comment | Like I say, the M77 creates a new defining line, so it definitely feels like Pollokshields west is Pollokshields, but before the motorway was built it wouldn't have felt as isolated from modern day Dumbreck. Dumbreck would just have kept rolling on until you hit St Andrews Drive.
Same sort of thing with the M8 between Charing Cross and Anderston Cross. The presence of the motorway makes it feel like Anderston stops when you reach the 6 lanes of concrete, but Anderston does sit on both sides and stretches into the city centre a wee bit. Similar thing with Pollokshields. It used to be considered smaller, but as soon as the motorway cut Dumbreck into two, it feels like Dumbreck stops at the motorway, but it really shouldn't. |
