Hillhead

Hillhead (Scots: Hullheid, Scottish Gaelic: Ceann a' Chnuic)[3] is an area of Glasgow, Scotland.

Situated north of Kelvingrove Park and to the south of the River Kelvin, Hillhead is at the heart of Glasgow's fashionable West End, with Byres Road forming the western border of the area, the other boundaries being Dumbarton Road to the south and the River Kelvin to the east and north.

Hillhead was an independent police burgh from 1869, but as Glasgow grew during the nineteenth century it was first swallowed up physically by the growing city, and then administratively in 1891.

Many academics from the University live in the area along with BBC Scotland employees, actors, broadcasters, writers and many students from various universities and teaching hospitals, creating an economically and culturally diverse community.

The two stops on either side of those are Kelvinhall in Partick, and St George's Cross in Woodlands.
