Hughenden, Glasgow

Hughenden is best known as a rugby venue and is the home ground of Hillhead Jordanhill RFC.

Initially the club used the Scotstoun Showgrounds before seeking to find a permanent home after the First World War, purchasing land at Hughenden in 1922.

[2] Since then Hughenden has hosted a variety of sports including hockey, cricket and tennis, although it has been most closely associated with rugby.

[3] The first major sports tournament held at the club was the West of Scotland Tennis Championship in 1925.

Due to the growing popularity of the rugby team, a grandstand was built alongside the pitch in 1934, designed by local consulting engineers FA MacDonald.
