| Comment | Google map labels are wild. They have area names that don't exist and put most of the real ones in the wrong places. I have no idea what sources they use to come up with their labelling, but it's nowhere near correct.
There isn't any single definitive map of the districts and neighbourhoods. Part of the issue is some of the names come from old villages, but some of the names come from church parishes, but some of the names come from police districts, etc etc... many different sources and a lot of the time they overlap each other.
Then you get modern day vs historical arguments. Then people being adamant on a particular street being in a particular area because the estate agent said so or because it might increase house value by a few quid.
I do have my own google map that I made for fun after trying my best to draw all the sources together. It's as good as I can get it, but I know a few thousand Glaswegians would look at it and argue that it's wrong. |
