| Comment | You're 100% right about getting the places right, but if you want to be strictly traditional then you're all wrong. Dennistoun STRICTLY is much smaller and is only the area we all call 'the drives' then. It has grown a lot as an area in the past decade or so eating up the traditional areas (like Maryhill has done).
North of Alexandra Parade to the Canal (now the motorway) used to be known as 'Milnbank'.
South of the Parade and between Craigpark and Cumbernauld Rd was 'Dennistoun'.
The area between the Necropolis and Craigpark was 'Firpark'. Then the area bounded by Cumbernauld Rd on two sides is 'Haghill'.
The most south/east part of Dennistoun used to fall under 'Camlachie'. (The Whitevale/Bluevale high flats were the Camlachie Flats).
The Lea Rig sits in neither Dennistoun or Haghill. Haghill is on the other side of Cumbernauld Rd while Dennistoun 'proper' is on the other side of Alexandra parade.
The area you are all forgetting about is **Kennyhill**. |
