that and the bit around cathkin park

theres a theory that glasgow corporation invented auchenshuggle because it was where the main tram terminus was and thus was displayed on the front of a lot of trams yoker-style, and so they made up a cutesy cartoon scots name to make people want to go there. ive never found out whether that was true or if there actually was anything there before the tram terminus (and then latterly the motorway services etc). the wee bit of woodland at the end of london road is officially called auchenshuggle woods though
