Welcome to Dennistoun in East End of Glasgow

Dennistoun is a area of the city of Glasgow, Scotland. It is situated north of the River Clyde in the east end of the city. It is made up of a number of smaller districts - Milnbank to the north, 'The Drives' in the centre of the area and Bellgrove below Duke Street to the south. In a 2004 census the area had a population of roughly 10,530. Although predominantly tenemental, the Victorian villas to the west (towards the city centre) illustrate the Glasgow Corporation's original plan for the whole area.

Dennistoun  benefits from a large Victorian park, Alexandra Park, which is bounded predominately by the M8/M80, Cumbernauld Rd & Provan Road. The Park takes its name from Princess Alexandra of Denmark, the wife of the future King Edward VII of the United Kingdom, who officially opened the Park in 1870. The park was established in 1866 when the City Improvement Trustees purchased Alexandra Park from Mr Walter Stewart of Haghill under special powers conferred upon them by legislation.
