⭐ Core Definition: Haghill

Haghill is a residential neighbourhood in Glasgow, Scotland. It is situated in the east end of the city, north of the River Clyde. The housing includes tenements (from the 1900s and the 1930s), former council houses and several more recently constructed homes. It is bordered by Alexandra Park to the north (with Riddrie beyond), Carntyne to the east, Dennistoun to the west and Parkhead to the south. Administratively, it falls within the Dennistoun ward of Glasgow City Council since a 2017 boundary re-assessment, having been in the East Centre ward for the decade prior.

The red sandstone building of the local primary school sited off Walter Street, which opened in 1904 and closed a century later, was still standing in 2020 but had been allowed to fall into a state of dilapidation; following a partial roof collapse in 2021, its demolition became necessary.

Haghill in the context of Dennistoun

Dennistoun (/ˈdɛnɪstən/) is a mostly residential district in Glasgow, Scotland, located north of the River Clyde and in the city's east end, about 1+14 miles (2 kilometres) east of the city centre. Since 2017 it has formed the core of a Dennistoun ward under Glasgow City Council, having previously been a component of the East Centre ward.

Aside from the smaller Haghill neighbourhood further east, Dennistoun's built environment does not adjoin any others directly, with the M8 motorway dividing it from Royston to the north, while the buildings of Glasgow Royal Infirmary and Wellpark Brewery plus the Glasgow Necropolis cemetery lie to the west (separating it from adjacent Townhead), and railway lines form the southern boundary with the Calton/Gallowgate neighbourhoods, and Camlachie (a historic district which is now largely a retail park) on the opposite side.
